A notable exception, however, are encrypted hard drives. When you try to mount an encrypted hard drive, you just get a basic password dialog. There is no option to save the password for later use. I think having a checkbox in the password dialog to let people save the password would be very helpful in many cases (such as doing backups).

This kind of integration is a must-have. Proudly dual-booting openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.3 and Windows Vista on a Toshiba A205-S4577 since July 2007.
