xfce4-session will start gpg-agent, but it will not stop it at logout.
On the next login of the same user, xfce4-session will check to see if
gpg-agent is already running (which it will be) and not start another
instance. The problem is that if the user is using gpg-agent's SSH agent
support, SSH_AUTH_SOCK will not get incorporated into the environment on
the second login. This is because xfce4-session doesn't start gpg-agent
on the second login, so it doesn't have this information.

To solve this, xfce4-session must stop gpg-agent on logout if
xfce4-session starts gpg-agent on login.

This is all with either enable-ssh-support in .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf, or
with xfconf settings xfce4-session:/startup/ssh-agent/enabled = True and
xfce4-session:/startup/ssh-agent/type = gpg-agent set.

I can't reproduce this with xfce4-session-4.12.1.
PID of gpg-agent is stored at session start and gpg-agent is stopped at logout.
Are you sure that gpg-agent is started by xfce4-session? If not, then 
xfce4-session will not stop it at logout, of course.

There was a minor release since then, so maybe it was fixed? I am pretty
sure it was xfce4 that started it, since when I change the ssh agent to
openssh ssh-agent, gpg-agent is not started. I'll try it again...
