hm.. personally I don't think that a plasmoid is the right way for this...
an average user isn't interested in the number of process ids left and
shouldn't have to add a plasmoid for checking for free space.
I'm not familiar with the internals of KDE but maybe kded is the appropriate
place for these checks.
