Unable to login when disk space is exhausted

Bug description:
I track Dapper. I did an apt-get upgrade today, rebooted, and was
unable to log in. After I entered my username and password, I'd
briefly see the first text console, and gdm would show me the login
prompt again.
I tried logging into /dev/tty1 and using startx, and that's where I
got an error message mentioing something about being unable to create
an authentication socket in /tmp because the disk was full. sudo apt-
get autoclean fixed things.
It would be nice if gdm could tell the user when the session fails
because there is no free disk space in /tmp.
