Just store the unencrypted SSH private key directly in the wallet (let the
wallet handle encrypting it on disk) and supply it to ssh on demand using the
same Unix socket protocol that ssh-agent uses.  There's no need for a separate
key file, passphrase, or ssh-agent process.  The ssh-agent socket protocol is
dirt simple; KWallet should just implement it directly.  Then the only
moderately difficult part is importing SSH keys into the wallet without ever
writing them to disk unencrypted.
