ssh-agent is already running if you have use-ssh-agent at /etc/X11/Xsession.options so ~/.kde/Autostart/ssh-agent.sh may be enough

@lluis Even through /etc/X11/Xsession.options in Kubuntu do have use-ssh-agent, it doesn't seem to auto-start on its own.

FYI - ssh-askpass will call ksshaskpass automatically ;)
