Public bug reported:
When I launch xfce4-terminal from Xfce's Applications menu, the terminal
preserves the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable, and I can ssh using my
key to authenticate with no trouble.
When I launch it from Thunar's Open Terminal Here menu, SSH_AUTH_SOCK is
missing from the environment, so I have to manually enter my passwords
to use ssh. Yuck.
Either way, the behavior of the first-opened terminal window persists
into all subsequent terminal windows, since they reuse the existing
xfce4-terminal process. So, if you're testing, be sure to close all
terminal windows first.
