yep, i like it too. tough I'm not sure is the right level to do it, besides adding complexity, is pretty hard to ensure that all the information doesn't leak somewhere (and as for now really only files can be moved in an encrypted area) one thing that may be done is to change the concept in a more lightweight version, ie a simple ui for encrypted folders, and would be those encrypted folders a resource connected to the activity, wouldn't be the whole activity to be "encrypted" (because isn't really anyways). Could be in that way become a bit less invasive in kactivitymanagerd? (or be even separed from?) for actual data safety of everything i really don't see much other ways than real multiuser with encrypted home...
