FWIW, my VM wasn't fully updated.  I just ran yum update, rebooted and logged in to
the lxde desktop environment....and all was as expected.

egreshko  1595  1483  0 00:21 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /bin/sh -c exec -l
/bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/startlxde"

and the environment variables are set accordingly.

SSH_AGENT_PID=1595
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-CQUbfzKj1483/agent.1483
SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/libexec/openssh/gnome-ssh-askpass
CVS_RSH=ssh


I have never see the need to run "ssh-add" so I don't know what problems are
encountered by its failure.

As for the failure of ssh-agent to start....  Hummm....

Maybe I would try booting my system in multi-user.target as opposed to
graphical.target and then manually run startlxde and check the results.  (But I would
do that after I wake up ... considering it is 00:30 here....  :-) 0
