OK, so there is this large part of me that REALLY wants to be using my .xsession to do 
things like run ssh-add, remap the 'Caps Lock' key to where it should be, etc.

I have found, however, that when I try to use my .xsession in correlation with 'gdm', 
it doesn't work.  I have also found that my .xsession keeps getting re-written to just 
launch my window manager (Enlightenment).

After a LOT of research, I finally found the 'gdm' scripts (located in /etc/X11/gdm 
for those of you who are wondering) and made the modifications to the 
'/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Enlightenment' script that was necessary to make ssh-add run, 
and run 'xmodmap /home/$USER/.keymap', if it exists.

It worked wonderfully, until I rebooted, then mysteriously, my 
'/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Enlightenment' has been re-written to just launch Enlightenment 
(using the /etc/X11/Xsession script, that SAYS it want's to run ssh-add if you have a 
~/.ssh/identity file, but doesn't actually ever do it....)

So now, I am taking suggestions and assistance to make this work correctly, and STAY 
working correctly.  I'd either like to a) get the /etc/X11/Xsession script to run 
correctly, b) find whatever is re-writing my .xsession and /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions files 
and kill it, or c) find the alternative I haven't found yet for running things before 
the windows manager is launched.

Your assistance is much appreciated!

(P.S. in order to get 'ssh-add' to work correctly, I had to kill the line that calls 
/etc/X11/Xsession and change the line to just 'exec /usr/bin/enlightenment', else 
ssh-add just works on /etc/X11/Xsession and Xsession runs the windows manager, thus 
making 'ssh-add' neigh on useless...)

Thanks!
