Bug Description

It would be very useful if ksshaskpass is set as the default askpass once it is installed.

SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/ksshaspass

Distributions like Fedora KDE supply a file for example /etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/env/ksshaskpass.sh

ksshaskpass.sh contains

SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/ksshaskpass
export SSH_ASKPASS

This ensures that when password is requested from a terminal it will be asked through ksshaskpass.
