Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

Upon login to Gnome and waking up the laptop from sleep the 
gnome-settings-daemon is extensively reading something from the hard disk. I 
watched it by iotop, tried to figure out what does it open by lsof and 
readahead-watch, but I only found some screensaver files and gnome-libs. I have 
no clue what is it looking for.
It's really frustrating when I have 10 minutes in the morning to read my emails 
and I have to wait 5-6 minutes for gnome-settings-daemon to finish it's 
something before I get use my computer normally (normally means that I can 
launch programs in a sensible time). 
If I kill gnome-settings-daemon, of course the problem is gone so as my gnome 
theme making it a not really working workaround.
The problem also existed on Jaunty, now on Karmic too, how could I track it 
down and find out what causes this behaviour?
