Title:
  Gedit initiates write by dconf-service when using "Replace..." dialog

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  
  When "Search for:" field in "Replace..." dialog contains more than 3 symbols every press on "Find", "Replace" or "Replace all" buttons initiates write by dconf-service.

  Steps to reproduce:
  a) I needed to change gedit's "max-recents" setting.
  b) since there's no option for it in the gedit's "Preferences"  dialog, I installed dconf-tools (0.10.0-0ubuntu1)

  1) open any file
  2) open "Replace" dialog
  3) type into "Search for:" any text (should be over 3 symbols long) 
  4) press "Find", "Replace" or "Replace all"
  Every press on these buttons results in write by dconf-service (with audible hdd sound).

  When using /proc/sys/vm/block_dump it looks like this:
  #sda6 is a /home partition
  #new entry in "Search for:" field
  kernel: [11053.994218] dconf-service(1656): dirtied inode 4194707 (user) on sda6
  kernel: [11053.994225] dconf-service(1656): dirtied inode 4194707 (user) on sda6
  kernel: [11055.974400] dconf-service(1656): dirtied inode 4194738 (user.HFP9BW) on sda6
  kernel: [11055.974413] dconf-service(1656): dirtied inode 4194738 (user.HFP9BW) on sda6
  kernel: [11055.974509] dconf-service(1656): WRITE block 134749472 on sda6 (16 sectors)
  #same entry in "Search for:" field
  kernel: [11062.859499] dconf-service(1656): dirtied inode 4194737 (user.2QXUBW) on sda6
  kernel: [11062.859514] dconf-service(1656): dirtied inode 4194737 (user.2QXUBW) on sda6
  kernel: [11062.859614] dconf-service(1656): WRITE block 134749488 on sda6 (16 sectors)
  ...

  Indeed dconf contains list of used search and replace strings for
  Gedit but writes occur on EVERY press of "Find", "Replace" or "Replace
  all". No duplicates added.
