/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc installed by =xfce-base/xfce-utils-4.6.1 starts ssh-agent automatically on xfce startup, even if gnome-keyring is already running as a SSH agent (started by PAM). This way, ssh-agent replaces SSH_AUTH_SOCK set by gkr which is unintended. As a solution, I suggest to add a check for SSH_AUTH_SOCK along with SSH_AGENT_PID (which isn't set by gkr).
Created attachment 212772 [details, diff] Patch to fix the issue
Report it also to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/ as it's upstream file we are installing, not a custom Gentoo one and link us there. Thanks.
Michal, have you been able to post upstream yet? Thanks.

If upstream doesn't support the idea, we don't really want to maintain it in Gentoo. I hope you understand.
Upstream bug was fixed, I've snatched the patch from git to xfce4-session-4.7.0 (but won't backport it to 4.6.x). + 24 Oct 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> + xfce4-session-4.7.0.ebuild, + +files/xfce4-session-4.7.0-gnome-keyring.patch: + Fix gnome-keyring initialization wrt #296606 by Michał Górny.
