Hmh, yeah. Maybe “start gnome services” in Xfce should look at that autostart dir though (but that deserve a different bug). > >> Good point.

On my system it's gpg-agent -> dbus-launch -> startxfce4. It might depend on how you start Xfce (if dbus isn't started when startxfce4 is run, it will start it itself), but in any case, making sure gnome-keyring is run *after* 75 should work (and would be cleaner since it'd work in other DE too). > >> And I'm afraid it might break existing systems.

I *really* don't like that. Gnome-keyring is pulled by way too much stuff and if it breaks users system, it's *not* good. > I realise that this is a bit inconvenient; but I'd say that if one > uses many gnome applications will have to install gconf-editor anyway. > (I don't like the fact that there isn't a simpler way to configure > gnome-keyring if you're not using gnome, but this is what upstream has > chosen and I don't think that relying on a bug in xfce4-session not to > impose the ssh-agent to people would be a sensisble choice) Yes, I agree, but before breaking it for ssh-agent (ang gpg-agent as as ssh-agent) users systems, I'd prefer having more comments from g-k people.
