ssh-agent has a manual page.  It has nothing to do with dbus, though,
it's part of ssh.

The GNOME session has been started via ssh-agent for quite a while.
This means that all GNOME apps are started as ssh clients and
therefore running ssh-add will affect all programs started from the
GNOME session.
What's different in snv_46 is that dbus is now included so ssh-agent
now starts dbus-launch which will start gnome-session.  When the
session ends, gnome-session exits and the dbus session daemon and
ssh-agent both exit with it.
