there is a setting in the kdm config that turns on ssh-agent, and a gui app
that asks for your passphrase.
what I do is use kdm and then set SSH_ASKPASS to point to that gui app and
run ssh-add at login to kde
the env. variable SSH_ASKPASS is what ssh-add uses to get input from
anouther application.
if you man ssh-add near the bottom under ENVIRONMENT this is discussed.
