Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 2.30.2-3
Severity: serious
After login to Gnome I see the CPU load over 40% (4-core i3 intel) produced
by
dbus. Trying to find a reason for that I found .xsession-errors growing very
fast to megabytes with the repeated messages inside:
.xsession-errors

The only way to stop it I found is to kill gnome-settings-daemon, which
makes it unusable.
Possible side-effect is the problem with gnome-panel which is invisible
after Gnome start and could be unhide by killing gnome-panel process. Before
killing it produces similar to gnome-settings-daemon warnings in
.xsession-errors:
(gnome-panel:2885): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: invoking List()
failed for type GProxyVolumeMonitorGdu: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:
