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.

I offer up an idea I had a long time ago, but probably never talked about...

A plasmoid that does some basis system monitoring like:
 running out of diskspace
 running out of processes
 someone remotedly logged into the machine
 etc.

sorta like the "check oil", "low on fuel".. lights on your car dashboard.
