so after researching this for a day there are several issues with ubuntu-touch-session (and probably other packages too) ...

while we manage to bring up a desktop session on the desktop even when /home is 100% full, all the hackery in ubuntu-touch-session like writing to ~/.bashrc, having modified upstart jobs that expect to be able to write to the users homedir etc will not allow this.

the only option to at least get the session up again (to i.e. show a message to the user to free up space and to still allow emergency calls etc) will be a general re-write of ubuntu-touch-session and the additional changed upstart jobs here to only use XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or /tmp on session startup. i will start this re-write this week, i am not yet sure how we can present a message to the user (a discussion with design is anticipated at the malta sprint) to tell him/her to free up space and i can not make any prediction about the timeframe for fixing this bug (with luck only a few days, but there are system design issues in general here that we need to fix)
