Package: fontconfig-config Version: 2.8.0-2 Severity: wishlist File: /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
powertop shows 0.2 wakeups per second from gnome-settings-daemon
2.28.1-2. strace shows it making this call every 4-5 seconds:
inotify_add_watch(20, "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11",
IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_CLOSE_WRITE|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|IN_DELETE_SELF|IN_MOVE_SELF|IN_UNMOUNT|IN_ONLYDIR)
= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
gnome-settings-daemon appears to get the name of that nonexistent
directory from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, which lists:
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>
If I remove the <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> entry and
restart gnome-settings-daemon, then those wakeups don't happen,
and some power may theoretically be saved.
I suppose an alternative would be to create the directory.
