It's a shame there wasn't a suitable pretty disk use tool, but I got a

glob?) which will cover all dot files but not . (current directory)
and .. (parent dir) or is .??* as good as it gets?
Have you looked at filelight - it was featured in this months Linux User
(well, the september issue).
http://www.methylblue.com/filelight
It will display a breakdown of your file system in a pie chart type format.
Different colours for different file types. The root level (or the top level
from where you start) is nearest the centre of the circle. As you move your
mouse over the chart, the respective filenames are shown like tool tips.
