Yes, I could do that, but it'd be user-specific, I would like to make it 
system wide.  Also, I'll end up executing something like `ssh-agent 
~/.xsession` and that doesn't take advantage of the fact that gpg-agent 
can act like ssh-agent and thus ssh-agent wouldn't have to run at all.

I can always hack something up myself, but it'd be nicer to copy some 
guru's tried-and-tested setup :-)
