I've tried again and detected the following:
No agent is started when I login to the "local ssh user account".
I have to do
eval $(ssh-agent) --> for every single session
ssh-add /path/to/key
ssh-add -L
(outputs the key)
Then I connect to the remote server and it works without having to type
a passphrase. Gee!

The fact that there are two ssh-agents under my other user account,
one with the -s option, the other exits with LX session, is still under
investigation :-)

Thanks
Stephan
