You use more than one at a time then?

It's started via some code in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common:
# Prefix launch of session with ssh-agent if available and not already running.
SSH_AGENT=
if [ -x /usr/bin/ssh-agent -a -z "$SSH_AGENT_PID" ]; then
if [ "x$TMPDIR" != "x" ]; then
SSH_AGENT="/usr/bin/ssh-agent /bin/env TMPDIR=$TMPDIR"
else
SSH_AGENT="/usr/bin/ssh-agent"
fi
fi
So if you've already started your ssh-agent, it shouldn't be started
again. If you don't want it to start because you plan to start it up
later, perhaps you could set the SSH_AGENT_PID variable?
You can always edit the xinitrc-common script directly, but then you
have to remember to redo your changes after an update (that script
isn't marked as a %config script in the rpm).
