I've been using unison as well, in particular the unison-gtk GUI
front-end.
One thing that's annoying though is if you start it from a menu or from
"unison-gtk &" there doesn't seem to be a way of entering the passwords
for ssh each time. The only way seems to be entering them in the
terminal that you started unison-gtk from. Some GUI programs e.g.
linuxconf will run as a normal user but prompt you for the root password
in a GUI box if it needs it. 

Is there some way round this for unison-gtk or am I going about it the
wrong way? e.g. do I need to set up fixed keys for ssh just for unison
to use, that are stored on each computer? Is this method more risky in
security terms?

Paul.
