This is a good setup, I had similar years ago to deal with screen.
One general word of warning with ssh-agent: Only use -A to forward it to another host that you completely trust, as anyone with root on that machine will be able to use your private keys.

While it doesn't prevent the problem, it certainly increases the sophistication required - I'm not likely to click on such a box when I haven't done something that would need it.
