When you say hidden directories I assume you mean . (dot) directories and there 
are none.  When I cleaned out my new home directory
I made sure to "/bin/rm -rf *" and "/bin/rm -rf .[a-z]*" so it was completely 
empty. 

And as far as I can tell the size of the journal for the device is 134217728 or 
about 128Mb.  I get that this way:

[r...@ktmtoshiba /]# mount
/dev/mapper/vg_ktmtoshiba-lv_root on / type ext4 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,rootcontext="system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0")
/dev/sda5 on /boot type ext4 (rw)
/dev/mapper/vg_ktmtoshiba-lv_home on /home type ext4 (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
capifs on /dev/capi type capifs (rw,mode=0666)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)


[r...@ktmtoshiba /]# tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/vg_ktmtoshiba-lv_home | awk 
'/Journal.inode/ {print $3}'
8


[r...@ktmtoshiba /]# debugfs -R "stat <8>" /dev/mapper/vg_ktmtoshiba-lv_home 
2>&1| awk '/Size: / {print $6}'|head -1
134217728

Then, apparently I divide that number by the size of 1Mb (2^20 or 1048576) and 
get 128 (exactly).  So I can see where df is
reporting, at least in part, the size of the journal while du is not.  Clear as 
mud!  ;-)

Thanks.
