Daniel Richard G., given the upstream for 90x11-common_ssh-agent in this
case would be debian, specifically, Debian X Strike Force, I would shoot
them a mail via debia...@lists.debian.org as it would provide a wider
audience for this request.

This wishlist item is properly implemented in a system script
(/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent) authored and provided by
Debian/Ubuntu, not by Xorg upstream. The file path in the source tree is
xorg-7.6+12ubuntu2/debian/local/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent

Daniel Richard G., thank you for your comments. The earliest discussion
found supporting this so far would https://mail.gnome.org/archives
/desktop-devel-list/2008-January/msg6.html . Given as you noted in

this is properly
Christopher,
Let me rephrase what I said: This wishlist item properly belongs in
90x11-common_ssh-agent; it has yet to be implemented.
That GNOME discussion from six years ago is not relevant here. Fedora
may be doing something like what is described in that thread, but
Debian/Ubuntu are not.
Daniel Richard G., thank you for your comment. At this point, given the
request has a clear scope, although limited discussion on PROS/CONS, no
demo code, or whether this should be done upstream in a vendor neutral
way versus downstream vendor patching, New would not be appropriate
here. I'll mark
Christopher: thanks.
Upstream patching isn't really applicable here, because the script in
question is distribution-specific session-setup code.
As for demo code, here's a tidbit to get the ball rolling:
if [ -n $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -a -d $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR ]; then
SSHAGENTARGS+=-a
Daniel Richard G., as Ubuntu syncs with upstream, any WISHLIST would
want to be implemented upstream first, and then it would be pulled
downstream in Ubuntu, not vice versa. If reproducible in xorg trunk,
please feel free to report this to them via
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ .
** Changed in:
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent is actually provided by
x11-common (source package xorg), and it makes sense to me for XDG
related code to stay in there anyway.
** Package changed: openssh (Ubuntu) =
