Only gnome-keyring supports this DBus interface, the only generic way supported
by ssh-agent/gpg-agent/gnome-keyring is to read the environment variables they
print to stdout and to put them in the environment of the session manager (i.e.
what the script used to do). I don't see any nice way to accomplish that with
xdg autostart files.
xfce4-session already already uses the above method to start gnome-keyring when
GNOME compatibility mode is enabled (although that currently has undesired side
effects see bug #8014), this could be made more generic with a new
configuration option for the GPG/SSH agent to start on login.
