I've not seen what I think is the best solution.  Ignore the icon after
you first read it.  It is only there as a warning, and if you do not
read the message, smgr takes no further action.  Later when you free
up some space, then read the message.  Next time you see the icon you
are properly warned.  But I think the Empty-Full icon is sufficient
warning until I take action to free up space.
