The easiest answer:
Put the following in $HOME/.dtprofile:
eval `ssh-agent -s`
ssh-add </dev/null
The ssh-agent works for me, but the ssh-add doesn't (it doesn't pop up the
dialog). Still, it means I only have to run the one ssh-agent, which was
the whole point. I can run ssh-add once after the xterms come up, and
that's fine.
Thanks to all,
