Hello,
I've written a patch implementing quota netlink interface. Whenever some
event happens (like user exceeding softlimit), a message is sent to
userpace. Then, in userspace we can decide what to do with the message -
print it to console, show a dialog or whatever... I've also written a new
daemon that listens to netlink and sends the received message to DBus and/or
to the console the user has last written to.
If somebody is interested in trying it out, he can checkout latest
quota-tools CVS and I can provide him with the modified libnl providing
better support for generic netlink handling.

Implement sending of quota messages via netlink interface. The advantage is
that in userspace we can better decide what to do with the message - for
example display a dialogue in your X session or just write the message to the
console. As a bonus, we can get rid of problems with console locking deep
inside filesystem code once we remove the old printing mechanism.
