I add a "Drawer" to my desk top tool bar.  That drawer contains a set of 
"Custom Application Launcher"  entries that run in a Terminal and 
execute the command "ssh -Y -l <login name>@<hostname>" .    My login on 
each host contains the .profile/.kshrc/ etc  files that define all the 
environment settings I need.  I create custom Icons for the Drawer items 
that consist of the name of the system.
