I think I was the one who requested this feature.  Quota is also large 
enough such that 10% left is a lot of quota remaining, and there's no real 
reason to alert on it.  It might make sense if the percentage were 
smaller.  But at the time this was implemented, I had a few hundred MB 
free, which was enough free space that there wasn't any real reason to be 
warned.

I use this because I use xterm instead of gnome-terminal.  But if we don't 
spawn a terminal window on startup (as is standard on Ubuntu), then it's 
irrelevant.
