encrypted USB stick (luks), ask for password

Hi,

I have a USB stick with an encrypted partition (luks). If I insert the Stick on the GNOME desktop I get asked for the luks password and the partition gets mounted. XFCE4.4.2 (Debian Lenny) doesn't ask for the password and doesn't mount the partition.

Is it possible to make it work like on GNOME? Are there any other options to make it at least as easy as possible? I don't want to go to the terminal and decrypt/mount the partition every time by hand.

Thanks!

Re: encrypted USB stick (luks), ask for password

Thats a pretty old version of Xfce, hence why it doesn't work.  I'm pretty sure 4.6 has native support that works like gnomes
