After a closer look at the sources it seems the infrastructure for
mounting encrypted devices is missing at all.
We need a checkbox in the KDevicePropsPlugin where you can choose
whether the device shall be mounted encrypted or not.
Then this boolean has to be passed to KAutoMount and from there to
KIO::mount().
Now KIO::File::mount() can try to do an encrypted mount.

The problem: KDevicePropsPlugin, KAutoMount and KIO::mount() are all
public classes and I'm not sure how to pass the boolean the correct way
without breaking bc. Any hints/suggestions?

Ciao,
Tobias
