Title:
  upstart configuration for user launches an extra ssh-agent

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Symptom: the ssh-agent does not have my key anymore after upgrade to
  13.10

  I use kdm and pam-ssh to deal with my keys.

  It appears that pam-ssh does its job, and my key it actually there...
  in another agent: I can see 2 ssh-agent processes, and changing the
  SSH_AUTH_SOCK and SSH_AGENT_PID environment variables so that they
  refer to the other one reveals my key...

  The script /usr/share/upstart/sessions/ssh-agent.conf launches ssh-
  agent, regardless of whether it is already there or not.

  Adding the line:
      [ "$SSH_AGENT_PID" ] && { stop; exit 0; } # already running

  before line:
      eval "$(ssh-agent)" >/dev/null

  in the script does restore the behavior before upgrade.
