19 | No, it's not. Gnome's seahorse offers that functionality.

33 of course I ran eix seahorse *after* hitting reply. Teaches me not to
34 reply to a message 30 seconds after getting out of bed. Ok, now onto
35 helpful stuff... does /tmp/keyring-L12w0n/ssh exist? Does any other
36 sort of ssh-agent / seahorse stuff exist in /tmp? When running
37 ssh-agent, I get a pipe called /tmp/ssh-[a-zA-Z0-9]/agent.$pid. After
38 that I'm out of ideas.
