    Why not insert "ssh-agent" and "ssh-add" into your login scripts. This way
she enters paddwords once, then from there the agent feeds the passwords /
keys to the ssh session when ever it is needed eliminating the constant
requests for passwords!

   I just tested it. Load ssh-agent / ssh-add before starting Gnome. Opened a
console screen and connected to a remote computer. Worked like a charm. If you
email me over the GUI  for ssh I'll test it for ya while I'm setup this way.

   FWIW...
