This behaviour was just introduced in Karmic because this code was never actually compiled in before, due to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584217. I'm currently doing some work on this plugin to implement http://live.gnome.org/LowDiskSpaceWarning. As part of that, I've already made the thresholds configurable so you can globally disable the warning. Perhaps you could add your thoughts to the spec though?
