            Bug ID: 11533
           Summary: xfce4-session starts gpg-agent
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Xfce4-session
           Version: 4.10.1
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General

As documented here:
  http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/advanced

"By default xfce4-session tries to start the gpg- or ssh-agent"

I solved my trouble as document there:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /startup/ssh-agent/enabled -n -t bool -s false

Here are the bugs I see:

1. gnupg-agent starts even if
  "Session and Startup"->"Application Autostart"->"GPG Password Agent"
is NOT checked.

2. It is started with --enable-ssh-support even if ssh-agent is already running
(stomping on the existing ssh-agent), and ignoring ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

3. man gpg-agent says "The agent is automatically started on demand by gpg,
gpgsm, gpgconf, or gpg-connect-agent.   Thus  there is no reason to start it
manually."

Personally, I start ssh-agent across all my sessions (X11, Wayland, VT) with
~/.config/systemd/user/..., and allow gpg-agent to autostart on demand.

It looks like the history of this issue is here:

"xfce-utils/scripts/xinitrc.in.in: Don't start ssh-agent and gpg-agent"
