There's no problem when emacs is built with gtk2. There's also no

I regularly run the entire GNOME desktop for hours (if not days) on end,
so I really don't think that this is a bug in dconf or gvfs.

I'll probably just have to stick with gtk2 for the next emacs release.

That's fine; gtk2 isn't going anywhere for a while.

Another option is to use gtk3 but to put the GSETTINGS_BACKEND workaround into the emacs startup code:

  setenv ("GSETTINGS_BACKEND", "memory", 1);

I've been testing this, and it seems to work (but I won't be completely confident until I've had emacs running for a day or so). Do you see any downside?
