Deploying an encfs folder with the Debian encfs defaults (allow_root is NOT set, allow_other is NOT set).

Dolphin gets into an infinite loop trying to access the folder.

Test Method:
1) Have user's home folders mounted on bootup automatically
2) Have user login with KDM, which automatically mounts the encfs folder
3) The folder then can be entered and is browsable at the command line.
4) Try to browse the folder with dolphin
5) Dolphin gets stuck in an infinite loop where the subfolders inside the folder continuously disappear and reappear.

Workaround:
1) Edit /etc/security/pam_encfs.conf and add "allow_other" to the encfs mount.
2) Edit /etc/fuse.conf and add "user_allow_other"
3) restart PC
4) Dolphin now works as expected.  Note that the above edits are not encfs defaults.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Have user's home folders mounted on bootup automatically
2) Have user login with KDM, which automatically mounts the encfs folder
3) The folder then can be entered and is browsable at the command line.
4) Try to browse the folder with dolphin
5) Dolphin gets stuck in an infinite loop where the subfolders inside the folder continuously disappear and reappear.

Actual Results:  
Dolphin gets into an infinite loop and icons randomly appear and disappear.

Expected Results:  
Dolphin shows the folder contents.
