I've taken to adding these lines in my VNC xstartup script: kill_agent="no" if [ -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ] then eval `ssh-agent -s` kill_agent="yes" fi if [ -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ] then eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session` fi run gnome-session or whatever here... if [ "$kill_agent" = "yes" ] then ssh-agent -k fi
