Description:
gvfs does not use the session's ssh-agent


Additional info:
* xfce4-session 4.12.1-6


Steps to reproduce:
1. startup system
2. load some ssh-keys into ssh-agent
3. try to access a sftp server via gvfs (e.g. via thunar)

This is related to: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46398

The work around listed in the above bug report does work, specifically:
* dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd SSH_AUTH_SOCK
* pkill gvfs

However, it is just that, a work around. The real issue is that xfce4-session starts ssh-agent but does not update the dbus environment.

This issue has been reported upstream: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13486

The attached patch corrects this.
This task depends upon
