(Get the code!)
In Kubuntu 12.10 Beta 2, in the User Info section, at the bottom of the panel are three radio buttons labelled "Require my password to log in", "Log in automatically" and "Encrypt my home folder".
Obviously, there's a binary choice to be made between the first two options. However, if you click the third button, it seems to be a bug that you're not able to choose either of the first two options. Indeed, I searched for this bug report because I thought there was a bug. I was focused on wanting to choose "Require my password to log in" AND "Encrypt my home folder", found I couldn't, and didn't step back and think this was working as designed.
In fact, it's not made clear (though maybe the positioning of the buttons, third under first, is an indication) that selecting "Encrypt my home folder" will also automatically "Require my password to log in". People installing in future might still think there's been a mistake.
Perhaps the text of the third button should be something like "Require my password to log in and encrypt my home folder". Maybe the buttons should be positioned in a single column, with "Log in automatically" at the top, so going from top to bottom the security increases.
