keyboard layout and cryptdisks

I set up cryptdisks and rebooted. It asked for the password, and when I typed 
it it mounted the partition. I have two suggestions, though:
*Up the number of password tries. I think Ubuntu allows three. DFly allows 
only one.
*Set the keyboard layout before starting cryptdisks. I touch-type Dvorak and 
had to look at the keys when typing the password. Someone whose password is 
in, say, the Greek alphabet would be totally unable to type it.
