I'm not using an older version, I'm using a more recent version :)

That's because of the OnlyShowIn line.

Good point. So yes, either it's run as part of Xsession.d stuff (which
was not possible, aiui?) or xfce4-session runs it, and do it correctly,
for example using your patch.

And I'm afraid it might break existing systems. For example, I have
gnome-keyring installed (and it manages password for stuff like
evolution) but I *dont* want to use it as ssh-agent. If I tune
xfce4-session to fix g-k-d start, will it force that behavior?
