I'm not a big fan of popup notifications for non-critical events (and running out of disk space for logs isn't critical, IMHO) - they get in your way when they shouldn't, and if you click them away to continue the task at hand, you easily forget about the error condition. Something non-modal would be better, perhaps a mechanism leveraging the status bar, or something similar to the notification bars web browsers (Firefox, IE, etc.) use these days.

Then again, I'm not sure this notification belongs in Konversation to begin with. Konversation is not the only user of disk space, and implementing such notification in each user quickly gets out of hand. Maybe this is really more of a job for the KDE workspace. And even if it isn't, the design of an unintrusive error notification mechanism should probably transcend Konversation as well.
