I start the keychain ssh-agent manager (http://dev.gentoo.org/~agriffis/keychain/) in my .xsession (which also starts enlightenment and a bunch of other things). Using keychain, you only ever need to type your password once to make it available in any terminal. You can of course use ssh-agent, .bashrc and scripting hackery to accomplish the same thing, but that's all keychain does anyway! (And does it better than I could.) I used to have keychain and ssh-add in my .bashrc, but that got annoying when I didn't want to use ssh in the first terminal I started (after the first one, keychain makes sure I don't need to type the password again in all the others). So now I use a wrapper-script around ssh that runs keychain and ssh-add if it can't find a running ssh-agent (i.e. the first time I use ssh, and never again). You might want to kill keychain when you logout (at the end of .xsession, for example), otherwise keychain will leave ssh-agent running even when you're logged out, which is a security risk.
