Subject:   Tool to show the recent disk space consumers?

Hi,

I hit this problem periodically when a lot of disk space is gone and 
it's hard to tell where did it go. Once it was thunderbird writing huge 
index file as a consequence of some bug, on another occasion it was the 
bug in KDE writing some huge index somewhere in ~/.kde4.

Is there a tool slowly indexing the file system and showing where 
exactly did the sudden growth of consumed space occur?

I know about du(1) but I am looking for some program that can detect the 
dynamics and pinpoint the offending files.

Yuri
