@Colin, that's the right package, sorry if my comment confused you. I was mostly pointing out that gconf is a legacy service, it's still used by mostly because some code didn't get ported to gsettings/dconf yet. It's going to drop/stop running at some point, but meanwhile it seems fine to change the polling delay.
Do you plan to send a patch/do the change yourself, or would you prefer for somebody in the desktop team to do that? ** Tags added: ubuntu-desktop-trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292021 Title: gconfd-2 is polling every 30 seconds calling periodic_cleanup_timeout Status in “gconf” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I'm trying to reduce the amount of system activity to keep power usage down, and I've noticed that gconfd-2 is calling periodic_cleanup_timeout() every 30 seconds. This seems a little excessive and I am sure that doubling the polling interval won't impact the responsiveness of the daemon. I am suggesting that the polling time is doubled to 60 seconds.
