If you are using Ubuntu, Ubuntu starts ssh-agent by default.  If you            
                                                                                
                 
look in /etc/X11/Xsession.options you will see the line:                        
                                                                                
                 
                                                                                
                                                                                
                 
  use-ssh-agent                                                                 
                                                                                
                 
                                                                                
                                                                                
                 
Commenting that out will stop it from running.  Debian may do the same          
                                                                                
                 
thing, if that is the distro you are using, but the file could be named         
                                                                                
                 
differently, poke around if that is the case.
