You need to run ssh-agent on the local machine to make your private key available and ssh-add to add it to the agent. I have the following lines in my .bash_profile:
eval `/usr/bin/ssh-agent` /usr/bin/ssh-add
This will add two variables to your environment: SSH_AGENT_PID=xxx SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-XXXXXXXX/agent.xxx
If you're running Gnome, ssh-askpass will pop up a box for you to enter your passphrase when you login. (Not sure about KDE; I think it will automatically do this even without those lines, as long as it finds a private SSH key under your home directory.)
For kde I created a "kde application/action" that executes ssh-add. This kde application can than be put in de .kde(2)/Autostart folder. During kde startup, a window will pop up asking you the passphrase. What do you actually mean with: <quote>

What is a "private SSH key under your home directory", I thought that all the keys are being stored in ~/.ssh, with the directory only reachable for the user? -- Richard Bos For those who have no home the journey is endless
