I've found pam_ssh_agent to be very handy.  Assuming the
password to unlock one's ssh keys and one's login password are
the same, simply logging in starts an ssh-agent and adds one's
keys to it.

Lacking of course is a way to have future changes to both
made at the same time.  Not to mention a way to have users
opt in or opt out, since some people may well have reasons for
not keeping the two in sync.  So I don't know that I'd view it as
really complete by itself.  But something along those lines that
ultimately unlocked everything at login (including ssh keys,
browser "software security device", etc) sure would be convenient.
