The code for this actually got put into oneiric's gnome-control-center.
But due to a miscommunication, the required ecryptfs-verify never got a
FFe filed for it and never got into oneiric.

So I think the easiest solution is to SRU ecryptfs-verify from precise
into oneiric.  Looking into that now.

Title:
  Shouldn't allow autologin for ecryptfs users

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

  When setting up a new user, if you choose to both encrypt the home
  directory and automatically logon this prevents the account from being
  used. I.E when trying to logon you get errors such as "cannot update
  .ICEauthority", "can't create Nautilus directories" etc. eventually
  resulting in a blank desktop and having to do a forced reboot.

  IMO, the two options should be mutually exclusive anyway as encrypting
  your ~/ is utterly pointless with a passwordless logon. At the very
  least, there should be some kind of warning (e.g. "Don't be an idiot"
  :) ).

  Using a fully up-to-date install of Ubuntu 10.04.
