gconfd-2 is polling every 30 seconds calling periodic_cleanup_timeout

Thanks Colin, gconf is deprecated and ideally shouldn't be used anymore, we still have it for some legacy code/applications though, so I guess increasing the timeout shouldn't be an issue

Perhaps I've made a mistake; I guess I wanted the fix for gconfd-2 as this is a little busy:

http://ci.ubuntu.com/power/eventstat/image/3105/machine/1/task/gconfd-2/details/

Have I sent a fix for the wrong package?

@Colin, that's the right package, sorry if my comment confused you. I was mostly pointing out that gconf is a legacy service, it's still used by mostly because some code didn't get ported to gsettings/dconf yet. It's going to drop/stop running at some point, but meanwhile it seems fine to change the polling delay.

Do you plan to send a patch/do the change yourself, or would you prefer for somebody in the desktop team to do that?

@Sebastien,

I messed around with a concept of a fix, https://code.launchpad.net/~colin-king/gconf/lp-1292021 - however I'm not sufficiently experienced to know how to get this fix into the package, so I'd prefer if the desktop team could handle it for me. Is that OK?

OK, I'm going to sponsor this, thanks Colin

Can you please forward the fix upstream? I don't know if it'll get any attention given the 'legacy' status that Seb mentioned, but might as well try IMO.

Uploaded, but it'll be kept in the queue until someone reviews it. Probably after the beta now.

This bug was fixed in the package gconf - 3.2.6-0ubuntu2
