Re: ssh-agent parenting for KDE virtual terminals

Alan,


KDE 3.1 on my Debian Sid (I don't have a Mandrake here at the moment)
does this:

 1 The 'session' runs /etc/X11/Xsession
 2 This runs 'session parts' much like the /etc/rc.d scripts
   - but they're in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/

And view this:

bash-2.05b$ cd /etc/X11/Xsession.d/
bash-2.05b$ ls
20xfree86-common_process-args       90xfree86-common_ssh-agent
30xfree86-common_xresources         99xfree86-common_start
50xfree86-common_determine-startup

...note the "ssh-agent" stuff. In this file we see:

if grep -qs ^use-ssh-agent "$OPTIONFILE"; then

...and in /etc/Xsession we see:

OPTIONFILE=/etc/X11/Xsession.options

...but I'm not sure if this is Debian specific. I don't think it is.

If you want me to I could post a tar of my /etc/X11 to you privately.
