... unless you would prefer that gnome-keyring handle your SSH keys.  If you're
running pam_gnome_keyring, then you only have to unlock your SSH key once in the
life of your login keyring.

On my system, I've hacked xinitrc-common to unset the SSH_AGENT launcher setting
for xinit.  I would prefer that the gpg-agent stand-in (either gpg-agent or
seahorse-agent) or gnome-keyring be used for SSH keys.

The other thing to watch out for is in BUG446781 -- gnome-keyring is an adequate
ssh-agent replacement, but since it doesn't set SSH_AGENT_PID, it gets clobbered
by the SSH_AGENT_PID check in xinitrc-common.  I ended up splicing in a value
for SSH_AGENT_PID in a xinitrc.d scriptlet.
