Around the time it was discontinued I got the impression it would be OK
to continue using truecrypt-7.1a.

Would a 'mount && mount' script be acceptable?

I can create a desktop icon that runs a command (e.g. script) and AFAIR
put that icon on the task bar. Presumably that capability's provided by
XFCE unless it's courtesy of SolydX, which is based on XFCE and Debian.
BTW how do you tell who provides which functionality?
