Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
After a recent upgrade in karmic, gnome-settings-daemon has started
giving me dialogs on every login, informing me that two of my disks are
"low on disk space" (one is at 97% full, the other at 98% full).
I didn't ask its opinion.
The disks are sized according to my requirements (why should I keep more
than 2% overage on a disk whose usage should be stable?) and they're
*system* partitions anyway so any non-admin user receiving this message
has no control over the situation anyway!
Finally, the dialogs are lacking the standard "never show this message
again" interface, so I'm helpless to prevent them from showing up on
each new login.
>From bug #337441 I gather that this behavior was introduced in jaunty,
but that I was unaware of it because the notification was never shown.
Now that these notifications come as persistent windows, it's very
annoying. Please correct this before the karmic release.

gnome-settings-daemon should keep its opinions about my disk management to
