Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xfce4-session
I'd like to use the ssh-agent functionality provided by gnome-keyring- daemon, but i can't get it to work for the following reason. During login, the keyring-daemon is started via dbus, right? If it is started by dbus, then that might as well be the source of my trouble: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/RunningDaemon It says, that launching gnome-keyring-daemon from dbus only provides "basic password operations" without further functionality like ssh-agent. Bug #357346 sounds, as if xfce4-session indeed relies on dbus to start the keyring-daemon. However starting the daemon consists of two steps, the second of which is running "gnome-keyring-daemon --start" and including the printed information into the environment. In /etc/xdg/autostart there are three file each of which controls a single feature of gnome-keyring-daemon. Alltogether they are started by xfce4-session, but their printed variables are not included into the env, as they are not surrounded by eval ``. Therefore, the variable definitions show up in ~/.xsession- errors. I think i read some time ago, that gnome-keyring-daemon was capable of registering the environment-variables in the session via dbus. However this also doesn't happen, which means, SSH_AUTH_SOCK does not get set. However, in all this mess, GNOME_KEYRING_PID gets set. If i run ' eval `gnome-keyring-daemon --start` ' in .xprofile, i break the password storage, which indicates, that this seems to happen before dbus (but after pam of course). If i run eval `gnome-keyring-daemon --start export GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL SSH_AUTH_SOCK then the ssh-agent is working in this shell, but of course nowhere else.
