This isn't really a duplicate of bug #313812. The home directory is not
being unmounted. Bug #313812 concerns the key-ring.

I created a user (zip) with an encrypted home folder, logged in, started
a terminal and verified that the encrypted home folder was mounted. I
then logged out and logged in as another user with root (sudo)
privileges and checked what was mounted. "/home/.ecryptfs/zip/.Private"
was still mounted in "/home/zip". I then checked "/dev/shm/ecryptfs-zip-
Private" and the value was 1. I then checked what processes owned by
"zip" were running.

I also checked what files were open by processes owned by "zip" - 164! So it is 
reasonable that, under these conditions, the encrypted home remained mounted. 
The problem is that all these process are persisting after log out. I suspect 
getting rid of them will solve the problem.
