There is probably a deeper issue here in that 'monitor_files' should only get called when the Fontconfig config changes (Based on the return value of 'FcConfigUptoDate'). That should not be happening every 4 seconds.

As it stands, it's causing some wakeups that seem unnecessary and this is keeping the system from deep C state idle, which is wasting power.
