[Vincent Cautaerts <vincent.cautaerts@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a problem similar to the one of  'agnul' since yesterday's update
in ubuntu 14.04 (this update included gnome-keyring 3.10.1-1ubuntu4.1)

When I start a gnome-terminal with alt+F2, the environment is OK
(SSH_AUTH_SOCK set)

When I start a terminal using a keyboard shortcut, the env is OK too.

When I start a terminal from the launch menu, the env is OK too.

But when I start it from a ".desktop" file, I don't get the
SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable. It was working OK until yesterday's update.

Title:
  upstart job race prevents gnome-keyring from being ssh agent

Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-keyring” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I expect gnome-keyring to be the ssh authentication agent when I am
  logged in to a graphical session.

  Because of what I suspect is a race in upstart jobs, I believe
  SSH_AUTH_SOCK is being overwritten after gnome-keyring starts.

  Perhaps the gnome-session job needs to make sure the ssh-agent job is
  finished?

  [testcase]
  1) Perform desktop login
  2)
  [ "$GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL/ssh" = "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ] && echo Good || Fail

  Expected output: Good
