gnome-keyring daemon sets SSH_AUTH_SOCK even when ssh support is ostensibly disabled

[Alex Mauer]

Binary package hint: gnome-keyring

http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/Ssh says that gnome-keyring-daemon stealing the SSH_AUTH_SOCK from other programs can be disabled by setting the gconf key /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components/ssh to false. Unfortunately, this does not work, and while it may or may not prevent it from acting as an ssh agent, it still steals the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable when it’s run.

If this key is set as the documentation describes, it should not do this.
