Or create your own, $HOME/.xinitrc so you're not having to change it with
every update, and don't need root privileges to edit.

BTW:  If you want to run everything in an X session under ssh-agent, you
can so something like this which starts the xfce manager.  After X11 is
running, then doing an ``ssh-add'' in an xterm window will then enable the
agent when accessing remote systems.  I started doing this when the ssh-
agent I had been using to start it on the main login stopped working on the
Jaguar release.  Since I do all my remote access in xterms anyway this
handles it for me.

	exec ssh-agent /usr/local/bin/startxfce
