deja-dup-monitor uses huge amounts of memory

[Craig McQueen]

I just upgraded a Toshiba Tecra laptop from Ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 64-bit.

After restarting then logging in, the laptop became very sluggish, so I thought it crashed. But, it was still running very slowly. I connected via SSH, and ran top, and found that deja-dup-monitor was using up several GB of memory. I killed it, and then everything ran fine.

Ubuntu 13.10

deja-dup 27.3.1-0ubuntu1
duplicity 0.6.21-0ubuntu4.1

Note while doing the requested command to get deja-dup GSettings, I found that ~/.cache/dconf was owned by root. I changed it to be owned by my user. Not sure if that contributes to the original bug or not.

Happened to me after upgrading Trusty Tahr today.

This bug report is similar to Bug #1302416, targeted for Trusty.
Seems to be duplicated ones.
