LUKS passphrase dialog hidden

Bug Description

If I plug in a USB disk with a LUKS partition, the passphrase dialog is not focused but appears in the background. It cannot be reached using Alt-Tab or the Window List on the panel. Hiding all windows hides the dialog as well. So I have to minimize every open window by hand to get to the passphrase dialog.

Please:
a) Bring the dialog up in front and with focus
b) Make it accessible from taskbar and alt-tab.

Forcing focus on the dialog is not a good idea since other gnome programs specifically try to avoid focus stealing (which is very annoying at times). So I implemented b), making the window appear in the task bar.

   * debian/patches/95_ubuntu_auto_unmount_notifications.patch:
     - Remove UDI of ripped out device from mounted_volumes, so that the next
       mount/unmount of it does not cause an unsafe removal warning (because
       there are two entries for it in mounted_volumes).
     - Closes: LP#60137
   * debian/patches/02_pmount_crypt.patch:
     - Call gtk_window_set_skip_taskbar_hint() to have the password input
       dialog appear in the task bar. Closes: LP#47060
     - Check for existing cryptsetup before creating the GksuuiDialog, so that
       we don't accumulate unused dialogs in memory if cryptsetup is not
       installed.
     - Use nonblocking open() with a timeout for opening the passphrase FIFO
       instead of using fopen(); the latter blocks eternally if pmount dies for
       some reason (e. g. the target device is not removable). Closes: LP#46529
