Thanks for using Ubuntu and reporting a bug.

The first two denials are because gdm seems to be starting telepathy in its session. If I install gdm locally, it doesn't seem to be doing this. How are you starting telepathy in this manner?

The third denial is perhaps harmless-- do you have schemas installed in /usr/local?

I do have some schemas from /usr/local installed .

I don't know why gdm is starting telepathy. It's probably due to a package I installed. How might I find that out? I have telepathy-indicator installed. It has a file /etc/xdg/autostart/telepathy-indicator.desktop.

Would you like a log, as explained here? ~~> https://help.gnome.org/admin/gdm/3.8/overview.html.en

Hi, this just happened again now. What I did was log out my user, then logged back in. mission-control then started, and top said its user was was GDM, and it kept using 100% of a CPU. (There also was a crash in network manager when I logged back in.)

I just restarted the computer, and mission-control 100% CPU occured the first time I logged in.

I'm curious what user account 117 is on your machine; would you mind running

getent passwd 117

? Thanks

Same issue here. mission-control started by user gdm is at 100% CPU in top.
I have not dconf scheme installed in /usr/local.
