Eeexcept, I since found out that Leopard seems to do its own. Once you 
have keys installed in your ~/.ssh, the next time you try to ssh 
somewhere (from the commandline in my case) it opens a dialogue box for 
the password and offers to put it in the keyring, which it does. 
Thereafter, all the ssh-agent stuff seems to work, for gui apps (like 
scplugin with an svn+ssh repo url) as well as at the terminal.

So, it looks like it might have been obsoleted by Leopard. :-)

There's probably an even more straightforward way, including making 
keyring manager create new ssh keys, but if there is I missed it, as I 
was beelining for the SSHKeychain approach I'd used in Tiger. :-)

(I guess our brains must be too highly trained, Majikthise.)
