when the hd is believed to be 100% full by the system (though there may still be a hundred megs available) sylpheed seems to get into trouble and 'loose' parts of its state (widget configuration and other things.) after having cleaned up the hd, all old configuration is recognized again. i also found that the download manager of firefox becomes overly confused and unusable with the hd 100% filled up. this makes me believe that the problem sits in the linux hd driver not telling the truth about the available space. however, am not shure if sylpheed can work around that.
