On my box (I boot into runlevel 5) I start ssh-agent from
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession:
#!/usr/bin/ssh-agent /bin/sh
#!/bin/sh

And start ssh-add from my KDE Desktop/Autostart
Then all my programs will inherit from ssh-agent and I can use ssh
regardless of what xterm/xconose I am in. (of course for virtual
console I have to give the password again, evt. start a new ssh-agent)
