Authentication with thinkfinger stalls login when user homes are encrypted

Bug description:
When authenticating to the system with thinkfinger, the user encrypted home directories are not automatically mounted. Even though this makes total sense, since you will need to supply the password to unlock the encryption key. Having said this, the user should be prompted for the password in case if he/she is authenticated using thinkfinger or similar method. What happens now is when login to gdm using finger swipe, gdm starts loading and nothing happens. No message/warning is displayed. The user just sits there starring at a black screen :-)
