For using startx, you want .xinitrc. Edit /usr/bin/startx to verify. Assuming you have ssh-agent runnung (if not, use this line in your .xsession) exec ssh-agent fvwm2 (replace fvwm2 with whatever you use) >ssh-add & You may want to change this to ssh-add < /dev/null And make sure you have ssh-askpass installed.
