Binary package hint: gconf

Periodically after a reboot, my system CPU usage will rise to 100% and
the hard disk IO light will continuously flicker.  The computer fan will
increase to full speed and both the CPU and GPU temperature monitors
read in excess of 70 degrees C while the system is otherwise idle.

I believe the problem to be connected to gconfd-2 continuously writing
some kind of state information, potentially related to compiz and
metacity conflicting with one another, based on random googling about
the problem.  Every time I think I've solved the issue (killing metacity
one time, deleting a preference folder and rebooting another time), it
returns.

This is, for me, a major issue.  Systems should be put under so much
idle load that they get that hot.
