Follow up and observation on my own question

When I turn on "Launch GNOME services on startup" in the "Advanced" tab of the "Session and Startup" settings I can get the behavior back I am used to in GNOME, i.e. when I ssh to a machine for the first time I get a dialog box that lets me type in my passphrase. Once I do this the key is "unlocked" and I can log into any machine without needing to enter my passphrase again.
However, enabeling this also means that I am running more stuff than I probably want.
I compared the list of processes running with the GNOME services launced and without and compared them. However, nothing sticks out as providing this nice "unlock the key" feature. Thus I am not certain how to enable just that service to allow me to disable the "Launch GNOME services on startup" setting again.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert

Hi,
Just switched to Xfce recently and have run across a couple of things
that appear to be start up service related when compared to GNOME.
First, when building a package locally using osc, I end up with an "401
Authentication" error. Pocking around a bit this appears to be
gnome-keyring related. However, I have gnome-keyring-daemon running and
marked as "autostart". When I used GNOME I didn't do anything special,
osc just worked. Anyone has any idea what I need to do to get the
keyring usage working again?
Second, also authentication related, I now need to enter my passphrase
when using key-authenticated ssh login. I suppose GNOME by default
starts an ssh agent thus that the passphrase only gets entered once? How
do I accomplish this with Xfce. The "autostratup" has an entry for "SSH
Key Agent". What am I missing?
