Bug Description
When I launch xfce4-terminal from Xfce's Applications menu, the terminal preserves the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable, and I can ssh using my key to authenticate with no trouble.
When I launch it from Thunar's Open Terminal Here menu, SSH_AUTH_SOCK is missing from the environment, so I have to manually enter my passphrase to use ssh, scp, or any program that uses them (like git push). Yuck.
The behavior of the first-opened terminal window persists into all subsequent terminal windows, since they reuse the existing xfce4-terminal process. So, if you're testing, be sure to close all terminal windows first.
summary: |
- Thunar's Open Terminal Here strips the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment + Thunar's Open Terminal Here is missing the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable |
