KDE 'low disk space warning' needs a 'suppress for X time' option (and/or a GUI to re-enable the warning if I disabled it)

Bug Description
[This is a Feature Request]
[Kubuntu Jaunty/KDE 4.2.2 - repository installs]
The 'KDE Dæmon' "Running out of diskspace" warning dialog presently has three options available:
* Open Konqueror (presumably so I can delete some stuff and free up disk space)
* Ignore this warning
* Disable this warning
I would like a fourth capability here, possibly as a sub-option within the 'Ignore this Warning' option:
* Ignore/Suppress this warning for [insert time period]
Use case:
I am seeing that warning message repeatedly during the course of today. This evening when I would shut down/reboot the machine anyway I will extend the partition that contains my home directory. During the day though I would like it if my laptop stopped continually bugging me for something I already know about and plan to fix.
I do not want to 'Disable this Warning' since that would mean that (after today, after I have extended the partition and solved the problem) I won't see the warning should I begin running out of space again (say a few months down the line). I just want to suppress the warning for 24 hours.
Current workaround:
I found on this thread:
http://
that this warning is configured in:
/home/craig/
I will hit the 'disable this warning' option for now and then (this evening) remove the line in that config file that recorded that I disabled the warning. It would be nice if there was a GUI for this though - I certainly can't find one.
Update: when I said it was configured in:
~/.kde/ share/config/ kdedrc
I lied! It appears that the config is elsewhere in Jaunty/KDE4 (the KDE folk I am speaking to on IRC say that it's a distro-specific thing and that vanilla KDE4 doesn't have that dialog). Anyway, the config is actually located at:
~/.kde/ share/config/ lowspaceuse
I believe that the workaround stands though, I can delete that file when I want to re-enable the warnings.
