Hide DINFO until a certain minimum free space threshold is reached

hiding

client window.

space left for swapping is reached. Activating this button will display a
spinbutton, allowing you to dynamically set the number of megabytes (2-100)
that you want remaining before Dinfo surfaces.
Please note that you cannot activate this button and at the same time

for this is that you might otherwise find yourself with a Dinfo that cannot be
closed because it is not visible and it cannot be selected from the Window
List!
