lucid and ssh-agent

for ages, i had my ssh-agent settings in my .bashrc. with lucid this setup stopped working.

i had to - tell gconftool to not intermingle:

gconftool-2 --set -t bool /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components/ssh false

which did not do much. as an ugly hack, i additionally just disabled my own ssh-agent handling if it runs on lucid:

    # ssh-agent stuff
    # broken with ubuntu lucid
    distro=lsb_release -c | sed -e 's/Codename://g' | grep lucid
    if [ ! -z "$distro" ] ; then
                #echo "$distro detected, aborting ssh-agent logic"
                echo $- | grep i > /dev/null
                noninteractive=$?
                if [ "$noninteractive" == 0 ] ; then
                    ssh-add -l >& /dev/null
                    if test $? = 2; then
                         if test -f ~/.agent; then
                                 . ~/.agent
                         fi
                         ssh-add -l >& /dev/null
                         if test $? = 2; then
                                 ssh-agent > ~/.agent
                                 . ~/.agent > /dev/null
                         fi
                    fi
                fi

fi
