hm.. personally I don't think that a plasmoid is the right way for this...
an average user isn't interested in the number of process ids left and
shouldn't have to add a plasmoid for checking for free space.
I'm not familiar with the internals of KDE but maybe kded is the appropriate
place for these checks.

A plasmoid that does some basis system monitoring like:<br>
&nbsp;running out of diskspace<br>
&nbsp;running out of processes<br>
&nbsp;someone remotedly logged into the machine<br>
&nbsp;etc.<br>
<br>
sorta like the &quot;check oil&quot;, &quot;low on fuel&quot;.. lights on your car \
