Bug#382074: drivemount_applet2: should prompt for passphrase when mounting LUKS crypted partitions

[Olivier Berger]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.14.2-1+b1
Severity: wishlist


When mounting a LUKS crypted partition, pmount is launched by the
applet, and hangs forever, waiting for a passphrase in the background.

It would be great to have the applet work the same as
gnome-volume-manager... or having both programs to communnicate ?

Hope this helps.
