[lug] ssh-agent under KDE and KNOPPIX

[Neal McBurnett]

I should clarify that KNOPPIX puts you right in an X11 session.  I
save some configuration on either the system's hard drive or a
thumbdrive (home directory with ssh key; settings, etc) so
everything else goes pretty smoothly - knoppix is great (a popular
"boot linux from cd" distribution).

Here is a `ps fax`

  548 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/bash /etc/init.d/xsession start
  557 ?        S      0:00  \_ /bin/bash /etc/init.d/xsession start
  659 ?        R      4:41  |   \_ XFree86 -noreset -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 -dpi 75 :0
  676 ?        S      0:00  \_ /bin/sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
  854 ?        S      0:00      \_ kwrapper ksmserver
  810 ?        Ss     0:00 kdeinit: Running...      
  908 ?        S      0:13  \_ kdeinit: konsole -session [xyzzy]

so it looks like I need to get the right environment eventually to
kdeinit somehow.
