Description of problem: I'm running a fully updated F21. If I try to add an OpnSSH key with seahorse (Click on OpenSSH keys on the left panel, then click on the + sign at the top of the right panel, select the "Secure Shell item" in the appearing popup, then only seeing a message like (seahorse:32544): seahorse-CRITICAL **: seahorse_ssh_generate_show: assertion 'widget != NULL' failed in the gnome-terminal where I started seahorse. Clicking again on the + sign, a box appears with 3 buttons "Just create Key", "Cancel" and "Create and Setup" . But nothing happens if clicking on one of these three buttons. "Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):" seahorse-3.14.0-2.fc21.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.See description 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Proposed as a Blocker for 21-final by Fedora user catanzaro using the blocker tracking app because: I can confirm that creating an SSH key with seahorse is broken. Proposing as a F21 final blocker: "All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test." "Basic functionality means that the app must at least be broadly capable of its most basic expected operations" Seahorse is a tool for creating and managing stored passwords, X.509 certificates, OpenSSH keys, and GnuPG keys. Creating an OpenSSH key is basic functionality.
Seahorse 3.10 is broken with GTK+ 3.14, and Seahorse 3.14 works fine with GTK+ 3.10. I think there was a GTK+ behavior change related to GtkBuilder: (seahorse:17147): seahorse-WARNING **: could not find widget algorithm-choice for seahorse-ssh-generate.xml (seahorse:17147): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (seahorse:17147): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed (seahorse:17147): seahorse-WARNING **: could not find widget algorithm-choice for seahorse-ssh-generate.xml (seahorse:17147): seahorse-CRITICAL **: seahorse_ssh_generate_show: assertion 'widget != NULL' failed The algorithm-choice widget really is in the UI file, though it's used before it's defined....
This bug was first [introduced in, uncovered by] GTK+ 3.13.2. It might be related to [1] [1] https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=49fa04212b644f19ce576a8011e3f4fcda6a0806

Discussed in 2014-11-14 blocker review meeting. Ability to create OpenSSH Key is considered as basic functionality of seahorse. So this violates the final criterion: "All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test. *Basic functionality means that the app must at least be broadly capable of its most basic expected operations"
I don't think POST as a state has any relevance outside RHEL kernel workflows.
I've backported the fixes to seahorse-3.14.0-3.fc21.
