[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#470599: /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc ignores Xsession.options in handling ssh-agent
Package: xfce4
Version: 4.4.2
Severity: normal
In /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc, I see:
# Use ssh-agent if installed and not already running. Run it separately
# so it populates the environment here, so we can clean it up later.
followed by lines of shell commands that accomplish just that.
However, I think xfce4's xinitrc should check whether use-ssh-agent is
defined in /etc/X11/Xsession.options, if separate handling of ssh-agent
by xfce4 is necessary at all (rather than, say, having
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent deal with it).
At the moment, ssh-agent keeps getting killed on logout (esp. with use
of graphical user login, where there is little chance to run ssh-agent
before logging into xfce4), and users who use keychain usually expect
ssh-agent to live longer than that (and can more easily change options
in Xsession.options, rather than digging for these lines in xfce4's
xinitrc).
Regards,
Andrzej
