    Summary: An X11-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH
    Description: 
    This is an X11-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.
    These dialogs are intended to be called from the ssh-add program and
    not invoked directly.
    
    The features of x11-ssh-askpass are as follows:
    + Configurable via the standard X resource mechanism
      (/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults, ~/.Xdefaults, xrdb, etc.).
    + Requires only stock X11 libraries (libXt, libX11, libSM, libICE).
    + Can be configured to grab the keyboard and/or pointer (grabs the
      keyboard by default, not the pointer).
    
    The user interface is somewhat different than most password/passphrase
    dialogs and more similar to the X11-based passphrase dialog that
    accompanies the regular SSH distribution.  Instead of a text field that
    fills with asterisks or some other character as the user enters the
    passphrase, a series of LED-like areas light up one-by-one with each
    passphrase character entered, beginning from the lefthand edge of the
    dialog.  When they reach the righthand edge, they go dark one-by-one
    again, and so on.  This gives the user feedback that passphrase
    characters have been entered, but does not provide onlookers with a
    clue as to the length of the passphrase.
