Where is ssh-agent started?

ssh-agent is running but it is not started in any of these files:

lightdm-session

profile

bashrc

I have a recollection of seeing the ssh-agent initialization shell routine somewhere on ubuntu, similar to the recommended routine for cygwin. Perhaps I am mistaken.

System: Ubuntu 12.04.3

It is started in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90x11-common_ssh-agent.

The files in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ are run from /etc/X11/Xsession by display managers (like lightdm or gdm) after a user logs in and by xinit.
