Checking a working GNOME session (on another machine) I see that normally it's gnome-keyring that's listening on socket.ssh. I don't have a gnome-keyring process running (and I don't see gnome-keyring-daemon either). Neither ~/.xsession-errors nor /var/log/* have any recent error messages from gnome-keyring (though the first is truncated -- "...Too much output, ignoring rest..." -- since it's filled with some strange Mono tracebacks from Migo.Syndication.RssParser).
