[Robert Ancell <robert.ancell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to reassign this to gnome-session - the display manager
doesn't know if a session requires any hard disk space to run (it might
not).  So the session should really check for this if required and show
a dialog before quitting.

Title:
  Session fails to start when root system full

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When the root filesystem is full, LightDM and GDM loop back to
  themselves after a couple of seconds instead of starting the main
  desktop.

  Ideally the user should be warned that it is not going to be possible
  to proceed, and what they need to do in order to allow login to
  proceed (make space available on the root partition, rather than their
  home partition).
