How to make some partitions visible in dolphin's places?

Hello,
I have some partitions encrypted with dm-crypt. I'd like to have them automatically added (not mounted!) to dolphin's places. I saw this feature on Fedora 13 Live CD (KDE 4.3) but on Debian 6.0 and Kubuntu 10.04 (both KDE 4.4) it doesn't work (I don't see them). However I know that these partitions are correctly detected (for example in System Settings' Removable Devices).

Here's a screenshot from Fedora 13 Live CD: On the left, first you see "XX GB encrypted container". When you click it, it appears a dialog to enter the password. After typing the password you have a new entry in the list, called "XX GB hard drive".

This only functions I believe if the disks are removable, as Dolphin does not display internal disks.

These partitions are made on HDD on Asus 1000H. I will try to install Fedora on another computer to check if dm-crypt partitions are available from dolphin's places. I hope to find a solution because it's very convenient way to access encrypted volumes without typing commands in console.
