System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Main Menu

I'm able to add and remove items using this tool.

If you're on F10, you're probably trying too hard.  At least ssh-agent 
functionality is built in to the gnome-keyring-daemon.  You don't have 
to start it yourself.  You probably don't even need to run 'ssh-add'; 
you'll be prompted for the passphrase to keys in the default paths when 
ssh tries to use them for the first time (or at login, if you click a 
checkbox).
