Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

Apparently my patch for LUKS support via media kio slave was merged in
kdebase 4:3.5.8-2ubuntu3. :-) I've updated my patch because it was not
yet ready for productive environments. Please see
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113629 for the latest version.

The following bugs are fixed now:
  * Medium (safely)removal was not recognized reliably
  * Decryption was not always immediately recognized (DBus race condition)
  * Support for all possible media types (SD/MMC-Cards, CD, DVD, ...)
  * Some icons were wrong/hardly recognizable -> updated
  * completed German translation
  * show correct icons in media kicker applet

Please note that the correct working of this feature depends on #148003,
otherwise it will sometimes not recognize that a medium was decrypted or
(even worse) think that it's still decrypted when the device is plugged
again. The upstream fix that I referred to there fixes the problem for
me on hardy and gutsy with no sideeffect so far.

Furthermore the current packages puts "media_decrypt.desktop" to
"/usr/share/services", but it should be
"/usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/". Also kio_umountwrapper
doesn't support the encrypted medias yet -> should be updated.
