I have an Intrepid installation on a virtual machine at work, but I'm off until next week so won't get a chance to try the app until at least then.

I did mean "preceded": with the text change you end up with a complete sentence, so putting the icon in the middle of the string per the original screenshot seemed a little out of place. Whether it's before or after makes little difference though.

Unfortunately I don't speak Python, so can't help with the code directly, however if nobody's provided any more information by the time I get round to testing this next week I'll have a dig and see if the mount state is exposed anywhere obvious (i.e. /proc/mounts).

Personally I still favour "decrypt" - not least because it's a real word, whereas "unencrypt" isn't (at least as far as dictionary.com and wiktionary.org is concerned).

A quick check of the help browser in my Hardy installation shows "decrypt" used three times (in the "Passwords and Encryption Keys" manual, the "Evolution" manual and the "Archive Manager" manual), whereas "unencrypt" only merits a single mention (also in the "Evolution" manual). From this completely unscientific survey it would seem that the existing documentation in this area favours "decrypt", but it's hardly a landslide victory.
