Public bug reported:

I tried Kubuntu Hardy Beta with KDE 3.5.9 and noticed that the user can
only mount a encrypted device by right-clicking on the icon and choosing
"Decrypt" from the context menu. Beside that, Dolphin has no such action
in the context menu, so this works only with icons on the desktop or by
using Konqueror. If you simply click on the icon, the system shows a
error message like "The device couldn't be opened, because it's
encrypted". Why the system doesn't show the password dialogue to decrypt
the device, if it knows it's encrypted?

These two issues should be fixed:
* Add a "Decrypt" action to Dolphin's context menue
* Everywhere, where a user wants to mount a encrypted device, show the password 
dialogue and decrypt it.

** Affects: ubuntu
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- Improve opening of a encrypted device
+ Improve mounting of a encrypted device
