In my original report ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/990695 )

    Observed process use 100% + CPU utilization on one core for more than 30 minutes. Memory
    grew from about 200 MB to 390 MB during this 30 minute period.

     Process status was reported as "Sleeping/futex_wait_queme_me". However, as soon as I typed 'ubuntu-bug'
     in the terminal it switched to Running ~ and then dropped its CPU usage to 60% and gave back 100MB of
     memory.

     Then while typing this comment here.... it went back up to 102% and started consuming memory again.

     See attached screenshot

It could be the case that I used [CTRL ALT PRTSCRN] to take the screenshot - which made it calm down for a moment before it started going all berserk again. I have not been able to replicate the phenomena since my original report on 2012-04-28.
