I have the same problem.
It is not related to screen saver nor to VNC.
It is an old bug and has been around for a long time. It was originally
reported in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-
daemon/+bug/624477
on 2010-08-26 and **INCORRECTLY** closed on 2010-09-01 by Karl Lattimer
(karl-qdh). Please give that person a reprimand. I have noticed that
Ubuntu routinely closes bugs without fixing them. That does not make
the bug go away, it just makes people hate Ubuntu.
I do not have a
/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0
I only have
/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-2.0
and
/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon
I'm running gnome 2.32.1 build date 4/14/2011
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04
I have all current updates.
I'm ALWAYS running Firefox. I have used several different versions since first
noticing this problem. Currently, I'm using 13.04 I always have lots of tabs
open.
I tend to keep my system running and I stay logged in for weeks at a time.
I have seen this bug for a LONG time (many months, at the least)
when gnome-settings-daemon starts taking 100% CPU, it does so for a long
time (10-15 minutes), and then sometimes, stops monopolizing the CPU and
g-s-d usage drops down to 0%. It later can go back to using 100%
I will try deleting the
/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-2.0/keyboard.gnome-settings-plugin
and
/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/keyboard.gnome-settings-plugin
