Bug Description

Binary package hint: seahorse

In the SSH key's properties in seahorse, the location is wrong (/home/nate/.ssh/blah_rsa).

After creating a SSH key using seahorse, right click on it and select Properties, then go into Details and checkout the location.
It says something like: /home/nate/.ssh/blah_rsa
This path is wrong, and there is not even a "nate" user on my machine.

It happens for every SSH key that I have. (The fingerprint looks ok though.)

See below for screenshot.
Feel free to ask more information.
