ssh-agent in startxwin.sh?

[Harold L Hunt II]

Jehan,

I had probably asked the same question of others at some point. 
 Remember, I inherited the initial versions of these scripts from 
others.  There were no comments, whatsoever, in the initial versions of 
these scripts.  As I have said before, I am a terrible computer *user*, 
so I have difficulty evaluating whether a command such as ssh-agent 
should stay or be taken out.

Can you do a search of the mailing list archives for ssh-agent and let 
me know what the conclusion was, if any, about removing it or keeping it?

I am guessing that you are probably right... since I know a little more 
about ssh now and I can guess that ssh-agent is only useful to users 
that know what they are using it for, and you are right that there 
should be a dependency on ssh if we are using ssh-agent.  Just let me 
know what you uncover and I will probably remove ssh-agent from 
startxwin.sh.
