Even easier:
Use "startx" the normal way. At the end of ~/.xinitrc:
exec ssh-agent /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2
In ~/.fvwm2rc:
AddToFunc InitFunction "I" Module FvwmButtons
+ "I" Exec ssh-add < /dev/null
"ssh-add" will pop up a nice window when you first start X and
prompt you for your passphrase. It's all automatic.
