Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent is actually provided by x11-common (source package xorg), and it makes sense to me for XDG related code to stay in there anyway. ** Package changed: openssh (Ubuntu) => xorg (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1131383 Title: Wishlist: $SSH_AUTH_SOCK in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is a wishlist item for openssh-client 6.0p1-3ubuntu1 in Ubuntu Quantal. Now that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR support is available, it would be nice if the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent X session startup script would check to see if the variable is set, and if so, pass an argument to ssh-agent(1) so that the Unix-domain socket is created in /run/user/$USER/* rather than /tmp/ssh-*/.
