This bug still exists in KDE 4.6.0

As far as my search in the code took me, this is a problem with kded's
SolidUIServer::showPassphraseDialog() which does not supply means of specifying
a file containing the key to a LUKS device.

Unfortunately UDisks documentation of LuksUnlock() does not state clearly how a
key-file should be used, but my test verified it is sufficient to supply the
content of the key-file as passphrase parameter to get it unlocked.

I'd opt for a KPassphraseDialog supplying an option to specify a key-file
returning its contents as first parameter of signal gotPassword().
