Here's what I do, using blackbox (using an idea of a friend of mine): ----------->8----------------->8--------- #!/bin/sh eval `/usr/bin/ssh-agent -s` ( while true; do sleep 6048000; done ) & WAITPID=$!; export WAITPID /usr/X11R6/bin/blackbox & wait $WAITPID eval `/usr/bin/ssh-agent -k` ----------->8----------------->8--------- This way I can even change window managers without stopping X. I have 'kill $WAITPID' as my 'exit session' command in the menu. You might be able to do something similar with KDE. Note that I use xdm, not kdm.
