Public bug reported:

My shiny new laptop has a brand new Oneiric install, root FS is ext4.

It appears that for some reason .config/dconf/user is being rewritten
with /exactly/ the same information every minute or so.  Unfortunately
it appears this pointless rewrite causes an immediate spin-up of the
drive for a sync.  Which is not ideal, as it (a) hurts battery life and
(b) potentially hurts the HD over time.

Happy to debug, just tell me what logs to enable!

** Affects: d-conf (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- dconf/user file is rewritten every minute
+ ~/.config/dconf/user file is rewritten every minute

** Description changed:
