Hmm, isn't that possible with pam_mount or some other PAM module?
Mounting an encrypted home partition/directory sounds like a common use case.

Basically just like you start any X11 application, i.e. set DISPLAY and run 
it.
Since you already set DISPLAY you can just start it in the background.
I am not sure if you need to kill it after kdialog returns or if this happens 
automatically when the login process starts.
