I watched it by iotop, tried to figure out what does it open by lsof and readahead-watch, but I only found some screensaver files and gnome-libs. I have no clue what is it looking for. It's really frustrating when I have 10 minutes in the morning to read my emails and I have to wait 5-6 minutes for gnome-settings-daemon to finish it's something before I get use my computer normally (normally means that I can launch programs in a sensible time). If I kill gnome-settings-daemon, of course the problem is gone so as my gnome theme making it a not really working workaround. The problem also existed on Jaunty, now on Karmic too, how could I track it down and find out what causes this behaviour?
