If you want to know what's guzzling your disk space, this tool is very similar to k4dirstat (formerly kdirstat) found in KDE, except baobab (the name of a tree) won't drag in 3/4 of KDE with it (k4dirstat still wants to even with recommends turned off).
The Debian package page says Gnome but it works fine in my Wheezy Xfce.
Edit: After it's installed, it's found in (Xfce) Menu/System/Disk Usage Analyzer.

Re: gtk alternative to k4dirstat (kdirstat)
I would call this sentence unbelievably bad syntax except I believe it since I write such sentences as well:
If you want to know what's guzzling your disk space, install baobab. It works like KDE's k4dirstat fka kdirstat and doesn't require the heavy overhead of running a KDE app under GTK. "Baobab" is also the name of a tree in Africa. I don't see the connection but the developers must have.
Something like that?
And thank you for the suggestion. I had a problem like that recently and had to solve it by guesswork.
After reading it 5 times I decided it means:If you want to know what's guzzling your disk space, this tool is very similar to k4dirstat (formerly kdirstat) found in KDE, except baobab (the name of a tree) won't drag in 3/4 of KDE with it (k4dirstat still wants to even with recommends turned off)

Lol! Yeah, I kinda thought it was a bit tongue twisty, run-on, thanks for the kind translation, heh.HarborView wrote:I would call this sentence unbelievably bad syntax except I believe it since I write such sentences as well:After reading it 5 times I decided it means:If you want to know what's guzzling your disk space, this tool is very similar to k4dirstat (formerly kdirstat) found in KDE, except baobab (the name of a tree) won't drag in 3/4 of KDE with it (k4dirstat still wants to even with recommends turned off)
