The encrypted private directory should absolutely NOT be mounted on
automatic, password-less logins.  That would entirely defeat its
purpose.  In fact, auto logins should never be used on any system where
you care at all about security.

I'll document this in the EncryptedPrivateDirectory wiki page, and
eventually in the ecryptfs-setup-private manpage in a subsequent
upstream release.

I'm not going to clutter the ecryptfs dialogs with this information.
I'll leave it to the gdmsetup developers to decide whether they want to
include a note.
