Description

The way you are hardcoding the path it seems to suggest it will only work with x11-ssh-askpass, and not one of the alternatives like openssh-askpass or lxqt-openssh-askpass. Not sure if there is a clever way to work around that.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the hardcoded askpass path in the codebase, understand how it is used, and investigate methods to detect installed askpass programs or allow user configuration.
