Hi,

first of all: great stuff! I've been using it alleviating my Windows pains quite
a bit. Thanks for your effort.
Also thanks for the rxvt-freeze fix. It's perfect now.

I just wondered how one could make a usable configuration for integrating ssh
and ssh-agent.

In Unix it's easy: ssh-agent sets its environment variables, shells X, and all
subsequent programs using ssh (scp, sftp, cvs, fish, ...) have their environment
ready.

With msys it's not that easy of course. As a first shot, I modified the rxvt
start line in msys.bat to first call ssh-agent:

start %WD%ssh-agent %WD%rxvt -backspacekey ....

Now for all rxvts started from this first one via commandline things work ok. 
BUT:

- the new rxvts dont have sensible settings, as these are made in msys.bat and
not from /etc/ or so (font size, colors, ...).

- I want to start new rxvts via my nice MSYS-icon from the launchbar or the
start menu (I might even have a windows keyboard shortcut assigned...)

Does anyone have something nice running?

KDE has a similar problem (not concerning ssh, but anyway), and they solve it
with their kdelauncher process. But maybe there's an easier solution.

Best regards,
Heiko
