Possibly, you do not see something like -

/usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon
--write-env-file /home/awilliam/.gnupg/agent.info /usr/bin/ssh-agent /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

which i have in my task list, assuming it was created by

/usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session /usr/bin/gpg-agent
--sh --daemon
--write-env-file /home/awilliam/.gnupg/agent.info /usr/bin/ssh-agent /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
