Jehan,
I had probably asked the same question of others at some point.
Remember, I inherited the initial versions of these scripts from
others. There were no comments, whatsoever, in the initial versions of
these scripts. As I have said before, I am a terrible computer *user*,
so I have difficulty evaluating whether a command such as ssh-agent
should stay or be taken out.
Can you do a search of the mailing list archives for ssh-agent and let
me know what the conclusion was, if any, about removing it or keeping it?
I am guessing that you are probably right... since I know a little more
about ssh now and I can guess that ssh-agent is only useful to users
that know what they are using it for, and you are right that there
should be a dependency on ssh if we are using ssh-agent. Just let me
know what you uncover and I will probably remove ssh-agent from
startxwin.sh.

Hello,
Why is ssh-agent in startwin.sh? Harold, I think you forgot to remove
it from your script ;)
And if you didn't, then you didn't add the dependency to openssh.
