This article:
  http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue67/nazario2.html
suggests:
  A second modification you can do is to start your X desktop, such as
  GNOME or KDE, as the argument to ssh-agent. This will cause every X
  client locally started to be aware of how to communicate with the agent,
  allowing for greater ease when you use terminals to log in to other
  hosts. 

This one couldn't get that working:
   http://www.eanet.cz/~lvanek/develop/linux/kdevel_sf/
So they suggested:
   #
   Starting SSH Agent as terminal child

   Second way is here. Type following commands under KDE terminal:

   # ssh-agent csh
   # ssh-add
   # kdevelop

   First command start SSH Agent, and new shell as their child process.
   Second command add RSA passphrasse to SSH Agent. Third, run KDevelop.
   KDevelop run as SSH Agent child, and you may use KDevelop CVS
   integration.

This book chapter:
   http://www.togaware.com/linuxbook/ssh.html
has similar instructions for gnome.
