I have set up ssh-agent. The problem is, it stills asks for a pass-phrase every time! How do I set it up to only ask for a pass-phrase once? It would be best if it only asked when it was first needed, but if it asks on login, that is okay too.

Just install the ssh-askpass-gnome package.
Then add an ssh-add.desktop file to ~/.config/autostart directory, with the following content :
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/ssh-add
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name=SSH agent passphrase
