$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 13.10
Release:        13.10


Running 13.10 on multiple machines, all with kde-plasma as the desktop environment. Some environments are clean 13.10 installs, some are upgrades from earlier versions.

keychain is enabled for users, to allow easier use of SSH keys. Keychain
is enabled via .bash_profile

With this setup, the ssh-agent does not cache the passphrase. This
worked fine with 13.04 and earlier.


After a LOT of digging deeper, I found that disabling upstart support for kde-plasma in /etc/upstart-xsessions and restarting the system makes it all work again.
