Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] using ssl filter for ssh trafic?

Is it possable to use the ssl filter for ssh traffic?
I was trying to use it I think I figured out how to use the ssl filter
and after I eperiment with it I'd like to write about it on the wiki.
I think the problem I am having is I am trying to use it for ssh
traffic which I thought used ssl.
Has anyone successfully used the ssl filter to filter out ssh traffic?
Here is what I tried.

In the prefferences I went down to the ssl protocal and in
RSA key lists: 127.0.0.1,22,ssl,/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
SSL debug file: /root/ssldebug.txt

Then I start my capture on lo
and I start an ssh session to 127.0.0.1

Then I select the part of the ssh traffic one that says Continuation Data

Then in the Analyze menu I select "decode as"
Then I select both ports then SSL

Then under Analyze menu I have an option to Follow SSL Stream
(I suspect under normal ssl I would see text going across, I'll start
an ssl page later and try this)

But it always comes up empty Below I'll post the error log from ssldebug.txt
