The following may help you track down rootfs hungry apps/games
1) Run 'sudo gainroot'
2) Run 'cd /'
3) Run 'du -h | sort -n -r > size.log'
4) Run 'cat size.log | more'
The higher rootfs usage directories will appear at the top of the list. I assume from the above information that anything inside /home can be ignored as using rootfs space. I have noticed a few games that think it's OK to install over 2MB on rootfs including Electric Beams, Supertux and PRBoom.

e: and of course /media/ -subdirectories aren't part of rootfs. compare it to /mnt/ -directory mentioned in wikipedia article.
