there is a setting in the kdm config that turns on ssh-agent, and a gui app that asks for your passphrase. what I do is use kdm and then set SSH_ASKPASS to point to that gui app and run ssh-add at login to kde the env. variable SSH_ASKPASS is what ssh-add uses to get input from anouther application. if you man ssh-add near the bottom under ENVIRONMENT this is discussed.
