let the report be based on a certain (95%?) threshold.
The popup reporting this should ideally have a number of options:
* go to the folder and clean up (maybe a background process has already indexed the filesystem and can present you with a list of outdated/not used files, various caches come to mind).
* ignore for now and warn again at 98%
* don't bother again for this mountpoint

There should be a small moniter on either top or bottom bar that shows your main HDD space (in a measure format like windows vista does with HDD's) and if you scroll over it, it will show all your disks and stuff and their free space.

I like Solution #1: Back in the days when Linux was all about the console, you've got an login warning if disk usage was critical. Im pretty sures that Ubunutu does this to, but nobody sees it anymore.

Nowday a Desktop Linux System should'nt be a dump tool, it should help the user to solve his problems.

Ubunutu should offer an cleanup assistant that helps to
1.) purge your Harddrive from Backup Files, Temporary files and Duplicate Files (Leave one copy and Sym-/Hardlink the rest).
2.) Find the Files/Directorys eating the most Diskspace. (launch baobap)

Do what solution 2 says and add a gui like in vista and have a bar that shows how much of the disk space is used.

It should also tell you how much free space there is in GB ,Mb,or Kb (Depending on how big the disk is)

it could also do this on the desktop too for removable storage and show a meter.
