That's an interesting idea, unfortunately it mythnotify chokes on my
system.  When I send a message to the screen and it's playing a HD
video, the screen freezes until the message is done.  So much for that
idea. :)

Seriously though, a big red bar across the top of the screen... YOU
ARE ALMOST OUT OF SPACE! would go a long way imho.
