Title:
gnome-shell high memory and CPU usage when desktop files are
constantly created or deleted

Bug description:
This *may* be an nvidia-specific problem, but the RSS of gnome-shell
on my system grows without limit (over a couple of hours it's
increased past 10G).
At the same time, gnome-shell appears to become progressively less
responsive.
Restarting gnome-shell (via <Alt><F2> restart) drops shell RSS down to
~400MB and improves system responsiveness a bit.
