[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#822069: mousepad: 2nd instance lead to dcond-service write to HD like crazy

[Jiff]

Package: mousepad
Version: 0.4.0-3
Severity: normal

Dear Mami Tainer,

NB: May be only tied to dconf-service (but mousepad is the only program doing
that…)

   * What led up to the situation?

Open a 2nd instance of mousepad.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Open a 1st instance (command line) for editing several files,
open a 2nd instance (also from command line),
see HD access LED lit up and stay up,
failed to avoid that by adding: >/dev/null 2>&1 at the end of the opening
string,
failed to avoid that by the sacrifice of a communist lisp developer
        (may be the offering was too less for the god of the HD LED),
launched iotop -oa to see that it was dconf-service that was writing to disk at
a rate of ~250KB/s.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Me unhappy,
couldn't find a way to stop that.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

mousepad &| dconf-service stop spoiling my R/W bandwidth and writing I don't
know what I don't know where.
