It happened again yesterday tho this time it at one point reported
zero bytes available.  After deleting some old kernels and rebooting
a couple times df reports the more expected values:
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb2              7689384   4559348   2739432  63% /

Since it happens so seldom therefore making it not very replicatable
I just live with it.

But this time after the problem went away I find that some configuration
information has been lost.

So far I've noticed (and remember seeing) :
Gnome terminal profile missing
Nautilus config back to defaults (?) from
 List View
 Never preview files
However my Nautilus scripts are still available


Since I so far at least have only seen these Gnome config related
problems, it seems likely that it might be Gnome config file or
directory that has gotten corrupted.

I examined a couple Gnome related directories (copied below)
but do not know how to interpret the results.  Any suggestions?
