FIX:
Finally found a solution that does not require me to disable screen
blanking and turning my monitors off physically:
1. Run dconf-editor
2. org > gnome > settings-daemon > plugins > power
3. "Set to Default" on ALL keys (this sets GNOME to never blank the screen
since "sleep-inactive-ac-timeout" and "sleep-inactive-battery-timeout" defaults
to 0), then UNCHECK "active", so it is false
4. Run a command at login like this: "bash -c "sleep 10 && xset dpms 0 0 900"
(sleep for 10 seconds avoids GNOME taking over)
5. I also disabled the "housekeeping", "orientation" and "xrandr" plugins as
they are not needed for me
I strongly suspect it has to do with my dual monitor setup (DVI and
HDMI), and that the bug may exist in newer GNOME versions as well. Will
check later with a live USB stick.
Cheers.

Title:
gnome-settings-daemon leaking memory after idle
Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hi
When my system goes to idle (lock and black screen), GDM starts to get
slow. and if I let it be in idle for longer time it will be more and
more slow.
Also at this point the gnome-shell is slow too and gnome-settings-
daemon starts to leak memory. again with more idle time gnome-shell
will be more slow an gnome-settings-daemon will leaks more memory from
7MB up to more than 7GB. (ending process of gnome-settings-daemon and
restarting shell with "r" command fixes these problems until next
idle)
I'm using gnome ppa (ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3)
I have reported a bug for GDM3 too
