I guess what you see is a result on how ssh-agent is started
automatically by X. It certainly has nothing to do with console versus
gnome.

You may be interested to hear that I am packaging keychain for Fedora
Extras. So far the package isn't build. If you like you can fetch the
one which will appear soon in Extras from
http://www.uni-x.org/keychain-2.5.5-2.noarch.rpm. Please see the
README.Fedora text file in the docs of the package, as the package has
an opt-in mechanism which is not part of the upstream version.
