Bug Description

The encfs package supports an --ondemand flag that enables encfs mounts that
have exceeded the --idle timeout to be re-mounted when the next directory
access is attempted. Currently, the preferences in the cryptkeeper GUI have no
way to specify the required --ondemand or --extpass options required to
implement this functionality, although they are fully-accessible from the encfs
command-line utility.

Cryptkeeper already supports the --idle mount option, so it would seem that the
basic functionality is already there. One hopes it's simply a matter of
exposing the additional options in the Preferences of the system tray icon.

NB: Also reported upstream to Debian. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=664599
