Hello, Same problem here, upgrades Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 last week: - /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon using 100% CPU after back from screen-saver - Keyboard "NumLock" blinking very fast - If kill the gnome-settings-daemon if came back and if screen-saver runs again the bug repeats... (my keyboard is a Dell Model: SK-8135, don't know if matters)
I also notice something strange, when running "/usr/lib/gnome-settings- daemon/gnome-settings-daemon --debug" manually I can see the output messages, and just by hitting "NunLock" on my keyboard I get the message: "(gnome-settings-daemon:6711): libappindicator-CRITICAL **: app_indicator_set_label: assertion `IS_APP_INDICATOR (self)' failed" Same message that keeps repeating when the gnome-settings-daemon goes crazy and start consuming 100% CPU. Workaround?! Maybe, removing the keyboard plugin file from the g-s-d and restarting the daemon: $ sudo mv /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/keyboard.gnome-settings-plugin ~/ $ kill <gnome-settings-daemon-PID> kill it just to re-start the daemon, of if you're running by hand as me, just CTRL+C and start it again. Well... after that I can lock the screen, let the screen-saver starts, hit "NunLock" on my keyboard and I don't get the error. I just did that 40 minutes ago, I could be wrong, just get excited to post it because the error message when hitting "NunLock" disappeared.
