call dbus-update-activation-environment after starting ssh-agent

Allowing xfce4-session to manage starting ssh-agent for me resulted in gvfs
requests not making use of the ssh-agent.

Much of the issue is described in this Arch Linux bug report:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46398

The workaround listed in the bug report does work.  Specifcally:
dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd SSH_AUTH_SOCK
pkill gvfs

>From this point on, gvfs request through Thunar successfully make use of the
ssh-agent.

However, I wanted to find a way to have everything working as expected
immediately after login without need to apply a workaround.  The attached patch
appears to do so.  Please consider including it.
