I should have clarified. I already edited Xsession.options to comment
out use-ssh-agent, but even then, ssh-agent kept getting "mysteriously"
killed, until I found xfce4's xinitrc that has its own ssh-agent-related
lines, which does its own thing with ssh-agent, if ssh-agent isn't run
with the common Xsession script.

And that's what I considered a bug---xfce4's xinitrc is not working with
the rest of the X: if the user wants ssh-agent launched with X and has
use-ssh-agent defined, then xfce4's xinitrc is not doing anything useful
in that regard, and if the user does not want ssh-agent launched with X
(i.e. use-ssh-agent is not defined in Xsession.options), xfce4 launches
ssh-agent anyway and kills it on exit.

Andrzej
