I put the following in my .profile to see if there is a running ssh-agent and if
not start one. After that, whenever I login I just have to run ssh-add once,
and all my windows have the correct enviroment. If you do not check to see if
an ssh-agent is already running it can start a new agent for each window.
( /usr/bin/ps -ef | /usr/bin/grep ssh-agent | /usr/bin/grep -v grep ) || eval
`/opt/ssh/bin/ssh-agent`
