I was thinking of kded too. And then making a plasmoid for it would be an
extra.

&gt; Hi mailinglist, some minutes ago a guy aka spiroo in #kde-devel suggested<br>
&gt; to make a sort of realtime check of running out of space while kde is in<br>
&gt; use. Maybe this check should inform users that space is running out.<br>
&gt; This suggestion is discussed here<br>

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 \
dashboard.<br> <br>
