The issue is coming from the xsettings code, it has a loop doing

"        while ((str = (const char *) FcStrListNext (list))) {
...
                file = g_file_new_for_path (str);
                monitor = g_file_monitor (file, G_FILE_MONITOR_NONE, NULL, 
NULL);
"

That lists includes /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, we should probably just
don't monitor non existing directories (that means that if they get
created the system is not going to pick them up, but that seems unlikely
to happen anyway, or not frequently enough that it would be an important
issue)
