Excessive memory usage (>> 1 GB) and messing up CAPS LOCK.

[Matthias Andree]

gnome-settings-daemons uses excessive memory and lets the CAPS LOCK LED on my USB keyboard flicker.

I have added lsof output in case it helps.

I have tried to grab a core dump, the latter didn't work (i. e. no core file), so no backtraces for a state. strace seemed innocuous to me.
