Of course for most situations the Private will automount on login anyway and the shortcut does not matter, but when coupled with likewise-open, the automount is not working and the desktop shortcut is handy.

The problem is the permissions on the .desktop file do not include execute permissions. A quick and easy solution for you would be to run "sudo chmod a+x /usr/share/ ecryptfs- utils/ecryptfs- mount-private. desktop" . When the .deb is downloaded and extracted, the file in usr/share/ ecryptfs- utils/ecryptfs- mount-private. desktop has no execute permissions for any users, where it should have execute permissions for all users.
