I remember trying that, but it didn't work. I don't remember why
though, I''ll try again later and see what's the problem.
Anyway, this would be a system only setting, which is the opposite of
what you are looking for, i.e. simple user configuration.
I'm positive that putting it in .Xsessionrc didn't work when I tried.

One solution would be to add an option in xfce4-session just to start
gnome-keyring as a ssh agent; simply ignoring the SSH_AUTH_SOCK
variable if that is not set.
Sounds a bit hacky though.

g-k maintainer in debian has been quite silent about this bug (that
was originally filed against it)
