<div dir="ltr">Thanks for all your answers. The thing is we're having some trouble here in Uruguay with xos that run out of disk space. Kids download lots of activities, take lots of pictures and videos and they manage to use all free space they have. When that happens, it seems that sugar won't load in some cases or takes too long to do it. That's why we want to give some kind of warning when they have used, I don't know, 95% of disk space or so, so they can delete some stuff before everything crashes. We'll try to figure out something, but help will be appreciated! <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 6:21 AM, Tomeu Vizoso <<a href="mailto:tomeu@tomeuvizoso.net">tomeu@tomeuvizoso.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="Ih2E3d">On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 2:27 AM, C.

The interfaces in that spec look quite good, although perhaps would benefit from a simpler, alternative API that also abstracts the D-Bus stuff. Perhaps rainbow should do some rate limiting or permissions checking, not sure.
