Title:
  gnome keyring no longer acts as ssh agent on login

Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was using Ubuntu 8.10 with pam_gnome_keyring configured to start in
  /etc/pam.d/gdm.

  This used to start GNOME Keyring at login and work as my SSH agent,
  meaning I could run ssh <remote server> and I didn't need to re-enter
  my passphrase.

  After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.04, this is broken.

  Now, ssh-agent gets started via my ~/.bash_profile, which only happens
  if SSH_AUTH_SOCK is unset, and then I am asked to enter my SSH key's
  passphrase due to ssh-add also being conditionally started in
  ~/.bash_profile if ssh-add -l shows not keys already added to the ssh
  agent.
