Happens to me too; but it only started today. No idea why it didn't before (I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 last week). Killing gnome-settings- daemon calms the system for about ten, fifteen minutes, then it starts again.
Exact same symptoms as Mike M. in #28. I followed his advice (moved keyboard.gnome-settings-plugin, killed gsd) about twenty minutes ago, and it seems to keep.
