Hmm. The new problem, doing it this way, is that I can't run
ssh -f remotehost xbiff
in any of the fvwm2 startup files, because it tries to run before I can
type in the pass phrase for ssh-add. I was doing this in .xsession:
ssh-agent
ssh-add
exec fvwm2
which waits for ssh-add to finish getting the pass phrase, then runs
fvwm2, and works fine except that ssh-agent won't quit at the end of the
session.
if I exec ssh-agent fvwm2, then have ssh-add and ssh both in the startup
files (InitFunction or elsewhere), I get two pass phrase requests.
I can't figure out any way to tell fvwm2 to wait for ssh-add to finish
before continuing. It can wait for a window to appear, but that's the only
kind of wait it seems to be able to do, as far as I can tell.
Ideas?
