Emiliano,

I'm not sure of the right way to help you in the long term, but if you
want a quick hack, you might try something like:

   1. Install a cronjob that runs every few minutes. 
   2. When it runs, it should check the available space. 
   3. If it concludes that space is low, pop up a warning.

      Warnings can be simple X or pygtk programs (see the 'dialog' Linux
      scripts for ideas). To get this hooked up to the running X display,
      you'll need to set some environment variables:

       DISPLAY=:0
       XAUTHORITY=/home/olpc/.Xauthority

Ask if you need more help.
