Package: gvfs
Version: 1.16.3-1
Severity: important

Hi,
I've a LUKS partition on an external USB3 disk. I used to mount it
clicking on its icon on desktop or in Thunar, it ask for the password 
, and after insert the right one, then it was mounted, as expected.

Now, when I click on its icon on desktop or in Thunar, nothing happends.

If I search with 'ps' for a cryptsetup process, I found it:

  $ ps aux | fgrep cryptsetup
  root      9444  0.0  0.1  28400  3852 ?        S<L  11:18   0:00
  cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 mybook

but no graphics dialog appears, as in the past.

If I kill 'cryptsetup' process and try to run it by hand in a terminal, it ask me for
the password :

  $ sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 mybook
  Enter passphrase for /dev/sdc1:


I also try to looking for a dbus error with 'dbus-monitor', but I did
not see any error messages.
