[Bug 460476] Re: gnome dislikes a readonly, empty home directory

[bytebybyte]

Hi Dustin,
What you say makes sense for the case of encrypting the entire home directory - which may be the best, or usual way now - but I was just trying out the feature in the smaller step of creating a "Private" directory within the home directory and saw this problem.  

I either just installed the package, or I ran ecryptfs-setup-private manually which did what the man page says
       ecryptfs-setup-private will:
         - Create ~/.Private (permission 700)
         - Create ~/Private (permission 500)
         ...

The original problem also mentioned:

"/home/bjd/Private will not be mounted on login"

So, I think the original title better matches this case.
