gvfs does not use xfce4-session spawned ssh-agent

This Bug is revival of https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13486 and its ancestor https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46398

The effect has come back: SSH_AUTH_SOCK has gone from systemd environment unless You use the workaround:

~$ dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd SSH_AUTH_SOCK

within a running session. After

~$ pkill gvfs

and restarting thunar it is set and in function.

It looks like the patch https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/commit?id=2cf63e66c0285aaeee76155f463c85d04da6addc

isn't in effect any more
