In my original report ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
settings-daemon/+bug/990695 )
Observed process use 100% + CPU utilization on one core for more than 30
minutes. Memory
grew from about 200 MB to 390 MB during this 30 minute period.
Process status was reported as "Sleeping/futex_wait_queme_me". However, as
soon as I typed 'ubuntu-bug'
in the terminal it switched to Running ~ and then dropped its CPU usage to
60% and gave back 100MB of
memory.
Then while typing this comment here.... it went back up to 102% and
started consuming memory again.
See attached screenshot
It could be the case that I used [CTRL ALT PRTSCRN] to take the
screenshot - which made it calm down for a moment before it started
going all berserk again. I have not been able to replicate the
phenomena since my original report on 2012-04-28.

Title:
gnome-settings-daemon consumes 100% cpu
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Fedora:
Unknown
Bug description:
I don't know how to reproduce this bug, but after varying amounts of
normal usage of my laptop, I notice gnome-settings-daemon is consuming
100% (approx) CPU.
I am not sure how to restart gnome-settings-daemon, I tried opening a
terminal and running gnome-settings-daemon again but this crashes my
system - my external monitor switches off and my laptop locks up. I am
able to reboot with SysRq+REISUB.
Sorry I cannot provide more information - it happens twice now, maybe
someone can tell me how to get more information for the next time this
happens.
