Description:
While accessing a sftp file system via sftp://user@server/folder
Thunar asks for username and password instead of using the ssh keys which are in place and active via ssh-agent

sftp itself has no problems using the ssh keys.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
thunar 4.16.11
* config and/or log files etc.

journalctl tells:
gvfsd-sftp[9500]: Failed to setup SSH evironment: The name org.gnome.keyring was not provided by any .service files (g-dbus-error-quark, 2)

In fact gnome-keyring is not installed and I'm not thinking to do so.
I keep my keys in gnupg.

This setup used to work over looong time.


Steps to reproduce:
- check your configuration does *not* have gnome-keyring installed
- check whether your ssh key configuration works with sftp itself
$ sftp user@server/folder
- open thunar
- enter some sftp address (sftp://user@server/folder)
- see dialog to enter (user-) password

Additional info:
I regularly check the Website / arch-announce mailinglist and could not find
any hints about any change concerning this.
This task depends upon

Seems most likely a "gvfs" problem as evidenced by "gvfsd-sftp" error. Have you reported this to gvfs upstream? Any chance you could try a different file manager that also uses gvfs? Can you identify when this broke i.e. which pkg update broke it?
