Okay, per discussion with pitti in IRC, I think the proper solution
would involve:

 * changing the symlink in an un-mounted ~/Private directory to point
to a wrapper script, instead of /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private
 * having that wrapper script:
   * first try to perform the mount
   * if the required key is not found
     * Explain the situation
     * Prompt for the password using gksu/zenity/kdesu
     * Perform the mount

This is Jaunty material, and will probably involve assistance from the
desktop folks.
