Bug Description

The "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop" link should allow a user to "Mark as Trusted" like all the other desktop shortcuts in Jaunty. You have to acknowledge the untrusted link popup *everytime* you use it which is inconsistent and looks unpolished.

I'm using ecryptfs-utils 74-0ubuntu1~ppa1 on jaunty.

Hi Mark-

I'm all for improving this. However, I have virtually no knowledge or time to spend on desktop files.

Is there any chance you could take a look at the Desktop Entry Specification and craft a vastly improved eCryptfs desktop file? :-)

Attach a patch, or create a branch and a merge proposal. Thanks!

I know nothing about this desktop stuff either and that spec does not mention anything about how to make a desktop file "trusted". As you said to me at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/371058/comments/2, your plan to get rid of this desktop link anyhow and replace it with a proper gui. So that comment applies to his bug/enhancement as well I guess.

Michal has a fix. I'm working on a merge. Should be in the 76 release.
