thunar-volman lets exo-mount handle encrypted file systems, just like
every other file system. exo-mount currently doesn't support encrypted
file systems, simply because I haven't bothered to figure out how to
test that. It should be relatively easy to add. If anyone wants to help,
go ahead.

I don't know what you mean by "GUI for the mount utility". exo-mount
uses libnotify to give visual feedback of progress and pops up an error
dialog if mount/eject/unmount fails. Besides that, what kind of GUI do
you need?
