This was simpler than I thought. The 'Custom' session in the kdm drop down
actually reads ~/.xsession, instead of
/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/fluxbox.desktop. Once I discovered that I added
this much in it just before the exec line and it works just fine!
==================================
if [ -x /usr/bin/gpg-agent ]; then
kill $(ps ux | awk '/gpg-agent/ && !/awk/ {print $2}') >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/gpg-agent ]; then
eval "$(/usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon)"
fi
exec /usr/bin/enlightenment_start
