Hi Dirk,
the PID is set via eval $(ssh-agent).
Sure. The problem is that when I do "eval `ssh-agent" in ~/.bashrc, it sets SSH_AGENT_PID but then it's unset somewhere (where and why?). This happens only under x2go, SPICE session works as expected (but SPICE is unusable for other reasons)
every new session has to set the variable as well. It is not inherited automagically to other sessions.
Where do you put this code? Do you have the only instance of ssh-agent per X session?
Yes. This code is in my ~/.bashrc
This way it still does not work for GUI apps launched from the desktop environment (MATE in my case). I'm trying to add ssh keys via keepass2/keeagent (it doesn't see ssh-agent) and then use them in other GUI apps (Eclipse etc.)
