  Binary package hint: gdm

  This is not a duplicate of Bug #353446 even if it's similar.

  Description of defect:
  If the user enables password-less login through users-admin with encrypted home directory, the next reboot won't decrypt the home directory.

  Step to reproduce:
  - open users-admin
  - click the change button next to password
  - tick Don't ask for password on login
  - reboot

  What's expected to happen:
  - the login will suceed and the home directory will be decrypted

  What happened:
  - the home directory won't be decrypted
  - the user will be logged in but with a lot of errors caused from missing files/directories

  System:
  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS i386 with all updates applied

  The similar bug #353446 solved this issue hiding the users with
  encrypted home from automatic login.
