It's been in gdm since around 2003, so those who use gdm as their graphical login program have had this since S10. In snv_44 we moved this piece of code from the gdm startup scripts to Xinitrc.jds which is called by both gdm and dtlogin so now dtlogin users also get this. > > What's different in snv_46 is that dbus is now included so ssh-agent > > now starts dbus-launch which will start gnome-session.

I don't think there is any interaction between dbus-daemon and ssh, although it sounds like an interesting idea. The order they are started is arbitrary, all we intended to do is start both at login and get rid of them at the end of the session.
