FYI: the ks you have on that wiki page doesn't work by default because
of the repo line. I had to get rid of the extraneous space between the
repo= and the rest, add os/ to the end and change to the Everything
repo as the release didn't include some things you have listed.

I use a custom local repository to test things so the repo line is just commented out and the final planned version of XFCE spin would likely just inherit a existing base desktop kickstart file.

If you really wanted to just test livecd-creator there are much better kickstart files available as part of the livecd-tools package (ie) the ones that are used to create the official and customs spins for Fedora. They are under /usr/share/livecd-tools.

. How much space does
making a LiveCD take?

That really depends on the size of the image you are creating out of the kickstart file. 4 GB would be a good baseline. Note that you can use a different temp or cache folder using arguments to livecd-creator.

I recall the last time I ran out of space, Fedora handled it much more
gracefully, would gdm not starting up on a system with no hd space for
a regular user be a regression?

All sort of odd things happen when there is no space left. X not starting properly is a pretty typical but you should probably file a bug report against GDM to handle this more gracefully if it can.
