There's another relatively minor bug with ecryptfs. I'm putting it here, though perhaps it should be a different bug report.

When you run "ecryptfs-setup-private" to setup ecryptfs for the logged in user, it creates a directory $HOME/Private on top of which the encrypted data can be mounted.

When the encrypted data is not mounted, that directory contains 2 symlinks:

Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop -> /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-mount-private.desktop
README.txt -> /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-mount-private.txt

The second of those symlinks is fine. But the first symlink is broken; the destination ".desktop" file does not exist. Somebody probably forgot to generate it for the distro.
