Package: seahorse
Version: 3.14.0-1
Severity: normal

seahorse doesn't allow me to create new SSH keys using the graphical
interface.

Steps to reproduce:
	1. open seahorse
	2. click File > New (or hit Ctrl+N)
	3. select "Secure Shell Key"
	4. nothing happens

Expected result:
	* open a new GUI window with further options to create the SSH key.

On stderr the following error messages get printed.

    (seahorse:pid): seahorse-WARNING **: could not find widget algorithm-choice for seahorse-ssh-generate.xml
	(seahorse:pid): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance
	(seahorse:pid): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
	(seahorse:pid): seahorse-WARNING **: could not find widget algorithm-choice for seahorse-ssh-generate.xml
	(seahorse:pid): seahorse-CRITICAL **: seahorse_ssh_generate_show: assertion 'widget != NULL' failed


Interestingly enough, selecting the same option again (File > New;
"Secure Shell Key") creates a GUI menu with three options "Just Create
Key", "Cancel", and "Create and Set Up".  By clicking on any of these
buttons doesn't invoke any action so it seems.  Hitting the escape key
closes the window, though.
