Yes, that's how ssh behaves. However, as I said, gnome-keyring will
only automatically load a private key if the public key is also present,
with the same filename plus a .pub suffix. If you don't have the public
keys in your .ssh folder, then that is the reason that GNOME is not
prompting you to unlock your private files.
