.xsession doesn't work the same way.  gdm/Xsession checks for the 
existence of .xsession an uses that *instead of* the default "ssh-agent 
-- gnome-session".  .gnomerc used to get executed *after* launching 
gnome-session so that I could run ssh-add.  Now, the same ability does 
not exist, so I have to completely recreate the overall structure by 
first starting ssh-agent in the background in .xsession, then run 
ssh-add, then exec gnome-session.  This completely severs the ability to 
automatically kill ssh-agent at logout, and I hve to come up with an 
alternative, such as leaving a remnant shell to do the clean-up.

What a horrible mess!
