As you see above, there is one ssh-agent (probably started by .xsession), and
three instances of seahorse-agent, interfering with one another. Till I killed
some of them at random I was unable to ssh out. I guess only one of them should
be running, and I submit as a bug that they are started by something/somewhere
unknown. The end result is that ssh passwords are not cached.

cer@nimrodel:~> less .xsession
cer@nimrodel:~> set | grep SSH_
SSH_AGENT_PID=5615
SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/lib/ssh/x11-ssh-askpass
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-cBjhK5570/agent.5570

Further, I believe they are not all of them killed on session close: I have to
open a text terminal and check what processes are still running as the user
that exited, and kill them manually, every time (several programs/daemons).
