Backtrace for /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon Funny thing is that I wasn't able to attach to the process unless I used sudo (although the process was owned by my user!!)
Another funny thing is that after detaching (or maybe that happened after attaching), the process stopped hogging the CPU. ** Attachment added: "gdb-gnome-settings-daemon.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/949878/+attachment/2866321/+files/gdb-gnome-settings-daemon.txt ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Undecided -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/949878 Title: /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon hogs CPU Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: While I am on a GNOME Shell session, gnome-settings-daemon would start hogging the CPU (using 100% of a CPU core). This doesn't necessarily from the beginning of the session, rather it usually happens after an hour or so of the session. Note, I have been experiencing this problem since Oneiric, and still having this problem in Precise.
