I'm sending this rather than pushing, since we're close to a release. It's a new module to automatically start an ssh-agent, if one isn't running. I expect to find it useful. The reason for this is that the ordinary mechanism for starting a single ssh-agent for an X session doesn't seem to be working for me. And starting xmonad with `ssh-agent xmonad` does no good, because the ssh-agent exits as soon as I restart xmonad.
My .xsession has
eval `ssh-agent`
before it starts xmonad, and it seems to work fine. Does this not work for you?
I don't know, it might. But I'm not going to restart X to find out. And I normally don't use a .xsession, since I use kdm to start xmonad. Except that right now I'm using a vnc most of the time, and that has its own file similar to .xsession. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University
