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.
