This would be inherently insecure since your password would be visible in
a `ps' output, so ssh does not allow it.

I'm not sure why you can't accomplish this. I have menus in my wmaker that
do it:
"Sessions" MENU
"Host" EXEC rxvt -bg black -fg white -fn Screen14 -title "SSH Session with host" -n host -e ssh -l user -c 3des host.domain.com
"Sessions" END
You can also try checking into using RSA authentication without a
passphrase. Should be in the ssh README.
