The encrypted partition/device has to be setup manually anyway. SuSE has
an option for this purpose in Yast and for RedHat and Debian you can
create shell Scripts which are started via init.d.

This 'Encrypted' is just a boolean for whether a password dialog should
be presented to the user or not. Maybe an other label would fit better?

Ok ;)

I thought about adding kwallet support to this wrapper app (together
with the normal user/password aproach), so both can be used.

Ciao,
