A good idea would be to set up a notification box for low disk space 
situations that says:

"You have less than X MiB of free space.  KDE will continue working, but
some applications can fail without notice.  Try emptying your trash can
or deleting unneeded files."
[ ] Don't show this again

...or the like.

So users who don't have space get warned globally.
