Have a lot of fun...

... but ...
I do have this in my ~/.bash_profile ...

/usr/bin/keychain -q ~/.ssh/id_rsa
source ~/.ssh-agent-franklin > /dev/null

This works when I log in on a tty (F1-F6), but not when I open new
xterm/konsole windows while in X.  Is there another 'login script' file
that I could put this code in to work everytime I open a new xterm... or
do I just have to restart X?

peace

|Looks like you needed the second command to make it all work.
