"Encrypted Volume" dialog for encrypted removable media with auto-mount disabled

Hi,

I have enabled the Thunar Volume Management, but all the boxes on the Storage tab are disabled, so that Thunar won't auto-mount removable media when I plug them in. But whenever I attach encrypted media a dialog box appears with the title"encrypted volume" that asks me to enter the password. This happens also when I resume from suspension (to ram).
Is there a way to disable that? It's really really annoying (especially because I never mount these drives, they're used by my backup-script running in the background).

Thanks,

Geralt.

Re: "Encrypted Volume" dialog for encrypted removable media with auto-mount disabled

Small update: the problem is caused by thunar-volman, I made a small fix to it and it honors now the auto-mount setting for crypto-devices.

Here's the patch in case you want this change too
