SSH is a console program, so you won't find any icons for SSH itself. What
other programs you might find on the desktop, or on the menu that pops up when
you click the gear or the foot (as well as whether it is a gear or a foot),
depends on whether you are using KDE or Gnome or something else. Try typing
"ssh localhost" at a console prompt. You should get (perhaps after giving your
password) your usual shell prompt. You can then exit, and it'll clear the
screen.
If that doesn't work, check whether sshd is running. You can type "service sshd
status" as root. To start it if it isn't, say "service sshd start" if you get
"sshd is stopped", or "service sshd restart" if you get "sshd dead but
subsystem locked".
If sshd is installed but doesn't start on boot, you'll have to make sure it is
started in your default runlevel (which is 5 since you're using X). You can run
ksysv as root or make symbolic links by hand in the /etc/rc.d/rc5.d directory.
Mine is 55 (between named and lpd). Also make sure it's stopped (K - mine's 25,
between squid and amd) in runlevels 6 (reboot) and 0 (halt).
