Sorry, for the snarky comment... Debian as a whole feels overcritical at times and I just snapped :P

That looks like a good point to inform the user about the problem I dont expect the dm to check for space all the time, but whatever layer is failing, the session in this case, will report an error (or crash? i dont really know what is happening) and the dm will take over again. I dont feel we are being too friendly with the user if we show them an error for a very common problem Handling it soundly would be to recover. Or to be able to get the error from the session or possible a third thing i dont know about That would be nice, but I dont expect that. I expect a one line check for space that will get 80% of the benefits with 1% of the time of a proper solution I wont defend this any longer tho... If you still disagree, please close this bug thanks for maintaining lightdm!
