Package: xfce4-session Version: 4.12.1-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
XFCE starts ssh-agent even if user wishes to use gpg-agent's ssh agent protocol. The details: I have a Debian testing XFCE4 desktop system and use gpg-agent to manager ssh-agent protocol as well. There is "enable-ssh-support" in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf file which, among other things, makes /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent file set variable SSH_AUTH_SOCK so that /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent file _doesn't_ start ssh-agent. That works just fine (i.e., ssh-agent is not started) if I start a bare X session like $ startx /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal but if I start a full XFCE4 session (/usr/bin/startxfce4) then something (but certainly not 90x11-common_ssh-agent) starts "ssh-agent -s" process and overrides SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable. I think XFCE session should not start ssh-agent nor should it override SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable (which "belongs" to gpg-agent in this use case). -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xfce4-session depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-8 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.14-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-2 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.7 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3+b1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.3-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.2-2 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-1+b1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.40.3-3 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-17 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b1 ii libwnck22 2.30.7-5.1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-2 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.12.1-2 ii libxfce4util7 4.12.1-3 ii libxfconf-0-2 4.12.1-1 ii xfce4-settings 4.12.1-1 ii xfconf 4.12.1-1 Versions of packages xfce4-session recommends: ii dbus-x11 1.10.14-1 ii libpam-systemd 232-14 ii light-locker 1.7.0-3 ii systemd-sysv 232-14 ii upower 0.99.4-4 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7+7 ii xfdesktop4 4.12.3-3 ii xfwm4 4.12.3-3 Versions of packages xfce4-session suggests: pn fortunes-mod <none> pn pm-utils <none> ii sudo 1.8.19p1-1 -- no debconf information
