Same here, sort of.
.xsession:
#!/bin/sh
GNU_SECURE=/etc/gnu.rhosts ; export GNU_SECURE
CVSROOT=/home/cvs/local ; export CVSROOT
CVS_RSH=ssh ; export CVS_RSH
BTERM=xterm ; export XTERM
XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB ; export XKEYSYMDB
XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls ; export XNLSPATH
XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults ; export XAPPLRESDIR
CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/lib/netscape ; export CLASSPATH
INFOPATH=/usr/share/info:/usr/local/info:/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.15/info
export INFOPATH
.

.
eval `ssh-agent -s`
ssh-add </dev/null
xhost -
exec fvwm2
All of those explicitly set variables, and the SSH_* variables carry
through to all apps without problems at all. FreeBSD 3.0.
