Title:
gsd-housekeeping leaks file descriptors
Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Apparently a process called gsd-housekeeping is periodically invoked
on my Ubuntu 17.10 system. It traverses my /var/tmp for some reason.
Looks like it is leaking file descriptors while doing so.
My syslogs are full of error messages like the following:
