We actually do something very much like this, from a script that is executed from a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart/. The .desktop file calls a script that runs in the user's context, and uses zenity to pop up a message warning the user that their quota is almost exhausted.

Thanks I am looking into it, still some issues with nicely formatting the output. I thought using zenity --warning quota -vs (the backticks to get the output of quota-vs). It gives the correct ouput but it is ugly(uncessary linewrap)
