Public bug reported:
I opened dconf-editor and did some resizing and moving of the window to
fit my screen a little better and so I could see fields/values a little
better. I noticed (could hear) my hard drive doing a whole bunch of
writes at the same time I was moving and resizing the window, so I got
confused.
It appears that ca.desrt.dconf-editor has some data fields ("height" and
"width") that are updated very unnecessarily (at least I can't see a
reason for it) when I resize the window. It does a whole lot more writes
if I do the resizing very slowly too, and less writes if I resize fast.
I guess since there are fewer events to the window manager.
I haven't been able to find the values that deal with the position of
the window, but I'm pretty darn sure that moving the window causes the
same type of updating of data values. It behaves just like the height
and width values as far as my drive is concerned. The drive responds in
the exact same way.
