The issue is coming from the xsettings code, it has a loop doing " while ((str = (const char *) FcStrListNext (list))) { ... file = g_file_new_for_path (str); monitor = g_file_monitor (file, G_FILE_MONITOR_NONE, NULL, NULL); "
That lists includes /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, we should probably just don't monitor non existing directories (that means that if they get created the system is not going to pick them up, but that seems unlikely to happen anyway, or not frequently enough that it would be an important issue) ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1266873 Title: gnome-settings-daemon is polling for seemingly no good reason at all To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-power-consumption/+bug/1266873/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
