Confirmed.  I have reproduced the problem.  Looking at the code, there
is no reference to gnome-terminal.  The "Run" action just calls "sh
....".  Looks to me like sh needs a handler in XFCE?

In any case, the text in the dialog tells the user *exactly* what they
need to do, if they want to run this by hand (run ecryptfs-unwrap-
passphrase).

Bug description:
This bug report is similar to LP bug #359997, but I don't believe it to be duplicate. I performed a clean installation of Xubuntu 9.04 alternate, and chose to encrypt my home directory.

Upon completing the installation, I was presented with the lightbulb icon in my panel, indicating that information was available.  I clicked the icon, read the instructions, and then selected, "Run this action now." However, nothing happened after clicking on the button. A terminal window did not open, and I was not presented with an error. Perhaps the "run this action now" button is calling gnome-terminal or something that is not installed on Xubuntu, but this should examined.

Fortunately, I was able to research the issue, and I found the aforementioned bug report. Entering, "ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase" gave me the necessary prompt, and I was able to get my autogenerated strong passphrase.
