Bug Description
Examining my laptop's power consumption, I found that my disk is being woken up frequently (once every 30 seconds) due to writes to the dconf database. The dconf write request traces back to indicator-datetime.
method call sender=:1.56 -> dest=ca.desrt.dconf serial=14725 path=/ca/
string "/com/canonical
array [
variant boolean true
]
Spoke with Ted Gould about this in Budapest, he acknowledged that this was a bug that needs to be fixed.
