See /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ and the use-ssh-agent configuration option in
/etc/X11/Xsession.options.
ssh-agent should already be started for you if you simply use the
default setup. Simply run ssh-add from a gnome-terminal.

Maybe this can help you, If I understand well, what you want is not be
asked for the passwords?

For security reasons it is also good to disable root access from SSH,
and login using another username and switch to root as needed using su
- command.

I use the keychain package to let me handle adding my ssh keys and my
gpg keys when I log in. It will handle both from either a text console
or a GUI.
