Description changed to:
    Using Dapper, updated from lates March 5 nightly on i386

    (this is not f-spot specific but rather distribution-wide, as
    opposed to another specific bug for f-spot I posted before - pls.
    re-assign to correct package).

    After filling up a hard disk by copying large amounts of data to a
    standard home directory, the desktop reponds slowly and no
    applications can be started. Logout is OK, but user can't login
    back, GDM simply restarts.

    This was reproduced several times with f-spot while importing a
    large library of images. The default option for importing in f-spot
    copies the pics files to local disk. This has been reported as a bug
    in f-spot too which should check for available fisk space before
    importing data (see linked bug).

    Work around:
    1) Use CTRL-ALT-F1 to gain access to console or boot in "recovery mode", login
    2) "rm -rf ~/Photos" to erase all  pictures imported and make room on the HD
    3) reboot / relogin with GUI
