Alternatively (if you want a passphrase), you can use ssh-agent and ssh-add.
Run ssh-agent from your login script (or .xinitrc) :
eval `ssh-agent`
and run ssh-add to add your identity to the agent. Once you have run ssh-add,
all interactive and non-interactive session will retrieve the identity from
the agent.

PS. You still need to copy the entry in ~/.ssh/identity.pub to
~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote.
