+x11-ssh-askpass is an X11-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.
+
+To utilize this service, you will need a private SSH key in ~/.ssh/
+If you log on using kdm, then just create a ~/.xprofile with the
+contents of /usr/doc/x11-ssh-askpass-1.2.4.1/xprofile.sample
+
+If you are launching X from console (with startx), then you can edit your
+~/.xinitrc to source ~/.xprofile or just add the contents of ~/.xprofile
+to ~/.xinitrc to it. Of course, there are other acceptable ways to do
+the same thing - gurus can roll their own.
