The new script is ~/.xsession. .xsession doesn't work the same way. gdm/Xsession checks for the existence of .xsession an uses that *instead of* the default "ssh-agent -- gnome-session". .gnomerc used to get executed *after* launching gnome-session so that I could run ssh-add. Now, the same ability does not exist, so I have to completely recreate the overall structure by first starting ssh-agent in the background in .xsession, then run ssh-add, then exec gnome-session. This completely severs the ability to automatically kill ssh-agent at logout, and I hve to come up with an alternative, such as leaving a remnant shell to do the clean-up. What a horrible mess! /Joe
