@charles: thank you for your answer, I understand your point.

@Sebastien : thank you for your answer. Is gdu-notification-daemon
controled by gnome-disk-utility ? (if not i don't understand your
remark..)

Currently, gdu-notification-daemon pop-up is only  :
- "displaying information" : xxx Mo are remaining on disk
- "giving tip" : you can free some space by deleting files/applications or moving them to another disk.
- "proposing" 1 tool that shows Mo/folder : disk analyser

it does not currently "warn" about consequences. This is the 1st point
that should be improved. And that is an easy improvement : just adding
text in gdu-notification-daemon's pop-up if the full volume is / :

"WARNING ! Ubuntu may not work properly (bugs, impossible to start a graphical session ... ) because the volume <<root file system>> only has 18Mio of free space left.   ["More details" button].
Please free disk space. A minimum of xxx Mio free space on this volume is recommended.
You can free space by ... (rest is same as currently)
..."

Hope this helps.
