ssh-agent called by gnome, cinnamon... but not by openbox

Greetings,

I just realized that if,under Fedora (20, btw), you set up your gnome
or cinnamon desktop sessions to use ssh-agent, so you can automatically
ssh without typing passwords from any terminal you open in those 
sessions...

this setting does not "transfer" to openbox. The solutions mentioned 
here,
for example, for arch linux:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124847

don't seem to do anything under Fedora. What is the fedora way to
do make Openbox start ssh-agent every time, then? the old .startx
of yore, or what?

thanks,
Marco
