Decided to try Tim Utschig's approach and lose the DSA key I'm no longer using, with no positive outcome. Interesting observation, though, and one I hadn't considered.

One addition to this that may or may not be unique to my machine. When I first attempt an ssh, the dialog box that pops up reads:
  "Unlock login keyring
   Enter login password to unlock keyring
   Your login keyring was not automatically unlocked when you logged into this computer
   Password"

No matter what I put in there, no joy. But if I close that dialog box using the X in the corner, the next dialog box that pops up reads:
  "Unlock private key
   An application wants access to the private key 'id_rsa', but it is locked.
   Password"

When I then enter the key's password in that 2nd dialogue box, everything works fine. So for me, the problem seems to exist with the first issue, where it's unlocking what it calls my "login keyring". Can anyone help clarify this for me? Is that portion something I can easily disable without disabling the 2nd portion? Or is there a way to set the password for that "login keyring"?
