I'm seeing the same behaviour on a current jaunty system: In my case
gconfd leads to idling at 100% and stopping it reduces activity to about
12%. Killing gconfd-2 does not help, it is respawned immediately.

According to iotop gconfd-2 is continuously writing to the disk with
about 40kB/s, and the file ~/.gconfd/saved_state is growing until it's
around 1.2MB and then starting again.

** Package changed: ubuntu => gconf2 (Ubuntu)
