Dustin,

Pardon my ignorance on this, but maybe if you can enlighten me on this, we might be able to track down KDE and XFCE equivalents or a way to make this more platform agnostic.  What calls this file:
"https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ecryptfs/ecryptfs/ecryptfs-utils/annotate/head%3A/src/desktop/ecryptfs-record-passphrase";?  Also, where is it in Gnome that sets the handler for "sh"?

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.
