Bug Description

I have lucid aplha 3 setup with encrypted home. I changed my password with old and liable passwd and after that I'm not able to login to gnome session as home decryption fails because the encryption password is not updated and there's all sort of nasty nautilus etc errors. I can log in via console and decrypt the home with the old password. passwd is probably not the right place to point fingers, but IMHO changing password using passwd should not prevent login to gnome session.

There is no support on such deprecated version; that one has died long time ago.
