A good way of achieving this is to put the following in your
.xsession:

echo '
# Prompt for passphrase
ssh-add </dev/null
# Start a bunch of xterms and emacsen
xterm -geometry +0-0 &
emacs -geometry -0+0 &
# Start your window manager
exec fvwm2
' | exec ssh-agent sh

You may want to replace 'sh' on the last line with a suitable
incarnation of your regular shell (e.g. 'zsh -l') to make sure your
window manager inherits a correct environment (PATH etc.)
