How many partitions do you have?  It's nice if there's more than one,
because then you can narrow it down.

In any case, open konqueror (or dolphin) at the root of the problem
filesystem, switch the view mode to "Filesystem view".  It'll take a while,
but it will show you exactly which files are taking all the space.  Always
assuming you can get it to run with no disk space...

Check your ~/.xsession-errors - various kde releases have had trouble
filling that up.
