Can I configure low disk space warning to a lesser threshold?

Ubuntu warns me about low disk space even when there are about 2 GiBs free. For me "low disk space" is 50 MiB or less as I use to use my disks at 100% capacity. The warning could be useful for me if it was warning only when I am really running nearly OUT of space. Can this be configured?

• The notification is part of the gnome-settings-daemon, you can change its behaviour in gconf-editor. To do so:

  1. Press Alt + F2 and enter gconf-editor
  2. Go to apps > gnome-settings-daemon > plugins > housekeeping
  3. Change free_size_gb_no_notify to 0.05 (for ~50MB) or whatever you'd prefer.

  There is also a bunch of other settings in there you may find helpful.
