Additionally, if I kill the plain metacity process so I only have
metacity --replace running, I am able to start compiz via appearance
preferences whereas I cannot start it with that metacity process still
running.

Process gconfd-2 causes cpu overuse and overheat
From what I can see, on bootup its starting a metacity process, and
calling anything with --replace isnt removing that original metacity
process. Killing the plain metacity process fixes it for me every time.
For instance, if I boot with no compiz and change metacity to use
compositing via
those issues are not gconf ones but buggy client software

For me it was fusion-icon, which I had in the startup applications list.
Disabling it fixed the problem. Manually starting it brought it back.

I dunno exactly what caused the problem, a reinstall solved it, however
it might be a good idea that the process be patched in some way that
would halt itself if stuck looping like this for too long to prevent
hardware failure as an unattended system could be damaged by
overheating.
I will leave
Sorry for spamming but I was too quick with blaming fusion-icon. In my
case it is a problem between metacity and compiz like described in this

Process gconfd-2 causes cpu overuse and overheat
I'm seeing the same behaviour on a current jaunty system: In my case
gconfd leads to idling at 100% and stopping it reduces activity to about
12%. Killing gconfd-2 does not help, it is respawned immediately.
According to iotop gconfd-2 is continuously writing to the disk with
about 40kB/s, and
I don't know if it is of any help: Here an strace of ~10s of gconfd-2
running.

the issue is probably not a gconf one but a client application doing lot
of read or write in the database

Process gconfd-2 causes cpu overuse and overheat
Any idea how I could find out which application is responsible...?
According to http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ gconfd-2 should be logging
into the user.log but it isn't (my syslog.conf contains user.*
/var/log/user.log and pulseaudio is logging into that file). Also
sending a USR1 signal does
not sure how to watch the activity, did you try with an another user
account to see if you still get the bug?

Actually I managed to get rid of the problem now (the problem did not appear
with a different user account): I found out that the saved_states file always
repeated four entries like
ADD ... def /desktop/gnome/sound ...
ADD ... def /desktop/gnome/sound ...
ADD ... def /desktop/gnome ...
ADD ...
