Like I said in my previous email, it looks like you'd need to create a
/usr/X11R6/etc/dm/Sessions .desktop file that has an Exec action of
customer.  However, in poking through Xsession some more, you should be
able to achieve a similar behavior to .gnomerc with ~/.Xclients. 
ssh-agent will then be run with:

ssh-agent -- $HOME/.Xclients

Note, ~/.Xclients has to be executable.
