Title: gnome-settings-daemon is polling for seemingly no good reason at all Status in The Ubuntu Power Consumption Project: New Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: One of the threads in gnome-settings-deamon is polling every 4 seconds trying to add a watch onto a non-existent directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11: inotify_add_watch(16, "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11", IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_CLOSE_WRITE|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|IN_DELETE_SELF|IN_MOVE_SELF|IN_UNMOUNT|IN_ONLYDIR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) poll([{fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN}], 2, 3999) = 0 (Timeout) inotify_add_watch(16, "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11", IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_CLOSE_WRITE|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|IN_DELETE_SELF|IN_MOVE_SELF|IN_UNMOUNT|IN_ONLYDIR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) poll([{fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN}], 2, 3996) = 0 (Timeout) inotify_add_watch(16, "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11", IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_CLOSE_WRITE|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|IN_DELETE_SELF|IN_MOVE_SELF|IN_UNMOUNT|IN_ONLYDIR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) poll([{fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN}], 2, 3999) = 0 (Timeout) inotify_add_watch(16, "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11", IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_CLOSE_WRITE|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|IN_DELETE_SELF|IN_MOVE_SELF|IN_UNMOUNT|IN_ONLYDIR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) poll([{fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN}], 2, 3996) = 0 (Timeout) inotify_add_watch(16, "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11", IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_CLOSE_WRITE|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|IN_DELETE_SELF|IN_MOVE_SELF|IN_UNMOUNT|IN_ONLYDIR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) poll([{fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN}], 2, 3998) = 0 (Timeout) inotify_add_watch(16, "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11", IN_MODIFY|IN_ATTRIB|IN_CLOSE_WRITE|IN_MOVED_FROM|IN_MOVED_TO|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|IN_DELETE_SELF|IN_MOVE_SELF|IN_UNMOUNT|IN_ONLYDIR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) is that intentional, or a bug? 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.
