I think the ghost working in the background is udev: it gets notified
by the kernel of something happening (in this case of the just decrypted
volume "appearing", after you successfully entered your passphrase) and
arranges for the rest to happen.

In your case, having a desktop-heavy environment, I'd guess [1] that
udisks is the part actually concerned with managing disks, wrapping
things thickly in DBus and other "amenities". So I'd look for some
place where udisks is configured.

[1] I'm a desktop Luddite, as many might know around here :-)
