> Backtrace for /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon
hum, that stacktrace has no useful info, it seems to just be waiting in
poll() which it what it does when not busy
> Funny thing is that I wasn't able to attach to the process unless I
used sudo (although the process was owned by my user!!)
that's a security protection, ptrace can't be used by normal users
> Another funny thing is that after detaching (or maybe that happened
after attaching), the process stopped hogging the CPU.

Title:
/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon hogs CPU
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
While I am on a GNOME Shell session, gnome-settings-daemon would start
hogging the CPU (using 100% of a CPU core). This doesn't necessarily
from the beginning of the session, rather it usually happens after an
hour or so of the session.
Note, I have been experiencing this problem since Oneiric, and still
having this problem in Precise.
