Hmm, the problem is that there isn't a good way to check that the auth sock is
actually valid and isn't a stale env var left over from something else.

The xinitrc script in master tries a "kill -0 $SSH_AGENT_PID" to see if the
agent is actually running.  If we don't know the PID, and only have the socket,
there's no way to tell if it's good or not.  (Of course, the 4.6 script doesn't
even check that much, but in theory it should.)  I'm not really comfortable
with this patch, but I don't have a better idea to fix it on our end.  Ideally,
gkr should set SSH_AGENT_PID as well, and that would fix the problem, but they
may have a good reason to avoid setting it.
