disk space warnings

* Should use a libnotify notification instead of a dialog. [1] * Should probably use a fixed size instead of a percentage - it is pretty odd that I get warnings when I have multiple gigabytes of space remaining. [1] http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Whiteboards/SystemDialogs/Compatibility

There's already a minimum of threshold for 2GB. So if you have less than 1% remaining, but that's actually more than 2GB, you won't get a warning. > [1] > http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Whiteboards/SystemDialogs/Compatibility
Yeah my warning was 2GB (actually 1.9) and for me on my 78G ssd is actually more space than I usually have :) - git checkouts and music take up a lot. Perhaps under 1GB is a better value?
Just moving the goal posts a tiny bit. commit 29f16a71904fdf1262c76e3a36f328e6d063d552 Author: Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> Date: Wed Nov 17 13:35:37 2010 +0000 housekeeping: Don't warn with over 1GB free https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634631
