gnome-session 2.4 no longer runs $HOME/.gnomerc

[Joe Kelsey]

I just upgraded to Gnome 2.4 and I find that gnome-session no longer 
runs .gnomerc.  I put my ssh-add command in .gnomerc so that it prompts 
me on login to enter my passphrase, but this no longer works.

I run gdm normally to login.

It took me quite a while to adjust to the idiotic new Xsession 
arrangement, but the ignoring of .gnomerc leaves me puzzled.  I cannot 
put the ssh-add in .profile or .xprofile, since ssh-agent doesn't run 
until the start of gnome-session.

Did something change in Gnome 2.4 to affect this?
