I'd like to run ssh-agent as part of launching Windowmaker under Ubuntu 12.04.

Once upon a time, there were files called .xdefaults and .xinitrc, but they ain't there no more under Ubuntu 12.04.

Would creating one of them with an ssh-agent command in it do what I want? I've never really worked with ssh-agent, so I'm not clear as to how to use it. One web page suggested a command string something like:

*ssh-agent sh -c 'ssh-add < /dev/null && bash'*


I assume that on login, something should pop up and ask me for my ssh key phrase, which would then be propagated for as long as my session lived.
