SSH-Agent seems to be not running

[RubenKelevra]

Currently, there seems no ssh-agent running - usually I would expect that in the default installation :)

 $ ssh-add .ssh/id_rsa_custom_key
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

I remember the beta versions to give me a nice GUI prompt while the stable indeed doesn't even seem to run the ssh-agent. I can't really seem to get it working myself either with this in my zshrc

export GIT_ASKPASS=/usr/lib/seahorse/seahorse-ssh-askpass
export SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/lib/seahorse/seahorse-ssh-askpass
if [ -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ] ; then
    eval `ssh-agent -s` > /dev/null
    ssh-add
fi

(I had to install seahorse separately as well, might be related)
