/ space usage

Okay, here's an interesting question and one I don't have an answer
for.  I recently re-installed FC2 on my laptop (60GB drive) along with
Windows XP, I was running out of space on the Fedora side (I initially
only had a 20GB partition, so I split the drive in half and moved /home
to a separate partition that is 15GB and / with 15GB and /boot with
100MB (the installation defaults except for /home which I added myself.
(I did include a swap file, in case you are wondering.)  

Anyway, the install was pretty simple a standard workstation install but
I included KDE as well as GNOME so I could play with it a bit, the total
install (according to anaconda) was about 3.5GB.  No problem.  Well,
after the install the only things I added were openswan, RealPlayer, and
mplayer and xmms.  Everything else is what was installed.

Now, I noticed today that my system was running REALLY slow.  Taking 3-5
minutes to open Nautilus, etc. I thought it was setiathome (running in
the background),so I killed that.  No help.  I then ran df and found
that my / partition was at 100% usage. 

My question is, where did the other 12GB or so space go?  My logs files
are a few MB, same with yum cache.  Does anyone have any ideas?  I
uninstalled KDE and KOffice but that only freed up about 300MB space. 
What's the deal here?  I never had this problem before on the 20GB
partition, so why is this an issue now?
