Why do you need to kill it? It sounds like you're starting it the
hard way. Make sure you have 'allow-user-xsession' in /etc/X11/config.
Then make your ~/.xsession as:

#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2

Then when you exit it will go away all by itself! I assume that 
currently your starting it in your fvwm InitFunction. Rather,
in your InitFunction you can run ssh-add, which will pop up a nice
little window first thing.
