I don't know how you generated your keys, but if you did it with ssh-keygen, then wm / de should have no effect on it at all. In your home directory, do you have the file .ssh/id_rsa.pub? If not, you can generate a key which is not tied to any particular environment by running ssh-keygen, and just accepting all the defaults. You will then have your public key in $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. cat the contents of that file, and copy it into your clipboard. connect to your remote host, and then append that key to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys.
I can’t provide a perfect answer to this one, but the problem is most likely a missing SSH agent or GNOME keyring or something like that :).
