[ale] DU help?!

Trying to clean up the home directory has not been easy . . .
My results do not make sense. Apparently, I am using 875 MB for my user 
account, but I don't know _how_. Look at the results of the du and you will 
see that the directories don't total anything close to 800MB and there does 
not seem to be any significantly sized files in my /home/user directory.
