Tested:

    (ok)  Xubuntu 14 LTS - 14.04.2 - desktop amd64
    (bug) Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 - desktop i386
    (bug) Ubuntu MATE 15.04 - desktop i386
    (bug) Lubuntu 15.04 - desktop i386
    (bug) Xubuntu 16.04 (fully upgraded on 2016-04-03T10:56:53+02:00) - amd64


How do I test:

    Installation - default with option to encrypt Home folder during
installation

I shutdown the machine. Start it.

If I first login with root, root cannot see my user's HOME folder/files/
they are encrypted.


    * However, what happens on Ubuntu 15.04 and 16.04 (bug):

    If I login to my user, check files, then log off fully, eventually
login with root, root can see my user's files because
/home/_user_/.Private is still mounted.


    * What happens on Xubuntu 14.04 (expected behaviour):

    If I login to my user, then I log off, eventually login with root,
root CANNOT read my user's home dir/files.


I can replicate this very easily and with no problem. I really
appreciate everyone's opinion and expert words. Thank you!
