add
     eval `/usr/bin/ssh-agent`

to .bash_profile, and add

     eval `/usr/bin/ssh-agent -k`

to .bash_logout

(or to the appropriate login rc files for your shell)

Then you will have an agent whether or not you run an xsession.

Once kde/gnome is started ssh-add in any window will do the job.
