It's amazing how badly the systemd folks managed to break *everything*.

I'm pretty old-fashioned.  I use startx from a console login, and I
configure it with a ~/.xsession file which overrides the Debian stuff.

In my .xsession file I have:

    hash ssh-agent 2>/dev/null && eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
    hash ssh-add 2>/dev/null && ssh-add </dev/null

This launches an agent, and evaluates the output (variables defining
where the socket lives), exactly the way it's supposed to be done since
decades before systemd existed.

I invoke my window manager later in the .xsession file, so it inherits
the ssh-agent environment variables.  All of my X11 programs are children
of the window manager (or of this .xsession file), so *they* all inherit
the variables as well.

None of that "child of dbus" or "child of systemctl --user" bullshit
for me, thank you very much.
