Still hapenning in Ubuntu 15.10, gnome-settings-daemon 3.16.3-0ubuntu1.
The problem on my installation was that ~/.cache/dconf was owned by root. I
changed it:
sudo chgrp myuser .cache/dconf
sudo chown myuser .cache/dconf
Then dconf-editor was able to change confguration.
No need to change
/org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/keyboard/remember-numlock-state, works with both
settings.
I'm not sure but ownership of ~/.cache/dconf directory changed after an
update.

Bug description:
Impact:
gnome-settings-daemon uses 100% cpu for ever in some cases
Test Case:
Seems to happen sometimes after docking or connecting with vnc, try to
connect to the machine using a vnc client a few times and check there is no
numlock cycle and cpu usage loop starting
Regression potential:
The numlock state could be wrongly set,restored on login in some cases

Original message:
-
I don't know how to reproduce this bug, but after varying amounts of
normal usage of my laptop, I notice gnome-settings-daemon is consuming
100% (approx) CPU.
I am not sure how to restart gnome-settings-daemon, I tried opening a
terminal and running gnome-settings-daemon again but this crashes my
system - my external monitor switches off and my laptop locks up. I am
able to reboot with SysRq+REISUB.
Sorry I cannot provide more information - it happens twice now, maybe
someone can tell me how to get more information for the next time this
happens.
