This has always been the case from when I used fvwm, xfce and (now) lxde.

So, it had started previously under lxde?

So.... Does it get started again when you logout/login?
No. Do I use systemd on this? But again, I have never had to do this,
ever, and I have my ssh-agent running all the time: that is how I
connect to the remote machine (without authenticating every time). I can
only connect now by typing the passphrase everytime.


No, it isn't a systemd thing. It a user process started when/by the starting of the
desktop.

I don't really know what you mean by having "ssh-agent running all the time" or why
you need to have it.... I have all of my rsa public keys in the authorized_keys
files of all of my accounts so that I can ssh to any system without supplying a
password or pass phrase. In all of those cases there is no ssh-agent running on the
system to where I am connecting.
