Because when you install sshd you also install ssh/slogin/scp/etc...? If you
run ssh-agent from the Xsession (starting your window manager), the agent
will be in effect for all children of the manager, so all your windows can
benefit.

I actually don't know of any Windows clients w/ ssh-agent or ssh-add. Key
generation is available on at least the F-secure client. (optionally, you
can generate a key on UNIX and ftp it to the windows client... klugy, but it
works.)
