how to get ssh-agent to work again?

[Alexander Koch <efraim@clues.de>]

I was using gdm for some time and it worked nicely.
At some point I was only using xinit and it worked
and only with xinit I have my umlauts (tricky case,
long story).

Now, where do I have to put ssh-agent in my .xinitrc
or so so that all terminals opened have it? If I start
it in my .xinitrc, it prints stuff on the vc where I
start it from but the environment variables are not in
the terminals of course.

Any idea? My .xinitrc looks like this:

export LANG=de_DE
/usr/bin/x-window-manager&
xhost +localhost
exec /usr/bin/gnome-session

Really, life without ssh-agent is a pain if you have
numerous hosts/routers and your pass phrase is rather
long...
