Hi all,

this bug shows up for me as well.
FC17 x86_64 up to date.

dconf-service and gnome-settings-daemon are taking 100% CPU and doing a lot of I/O on disk.

For me it was triggered, _each time_, when using vino-server (Gnome 3 remote desktop) on the local machine (the one having the problem). I was connected from a distant client (this one did not malfunction ever) to this local machine.

I was killing both services to restore the usability of the remote machine, and it oftently crashes the session.
Eventually both services were automatically restarted and the problem was here again, and I had to kill both services again and risking a session crash.

Temporary fix :
Using dconf-editor : uncheck the check-box from org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.keyboard.remember-numlock-state.
This temporary fix works for me.
