I have located a way to disable ssh-agent by commenting out the use-ssh- agent line from file "/etc/X11/Xsession.options". But even after doing this it is not guaranteed that the $SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable will be set when I open a new terminal, even while doing so several minutes after I have logged into my GNOME session, presumably when all session programs are running. Sometimes I open a terminal and see that $SSH_AUTH_SOCK is set, then close it and open a new one a few minutes later, and there is no $SSH_AUTH_SOCK anymore.
