Package: ecryptfs-utils
Version: 87-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Hi,

I apologize if this bug should have filed against xdm instead.

When ecrypfs-utils is set up to automount, xdm seems to work fine, but the
window managers launched by it won't allow keyboard input.

Steps to reproduce:

* Install ecryptfs-utils and xdm (configure it as your DM, of course)
* Set up an automounted ecryptfs with ecryptfs-setup-private
* Reboot

After those steps, you can log in and verify that keyboard input doesn't
work. If you go to a VT and remove ~/.ecryptfs/auto-mount then reboot, it's
fixed.

It looks like the problem is in Ubuntu too [1]. According to [2], it doesn't
happen with gdm. I think it could be related to PAM, maybe. It also looks
WM-agnostic [3], although I didn't try a different WM.

Please let me know if there's anything else I should test.
