Title:
  if dconf database corrupted, compiz/unity spins at 100% trying to
  reopen it

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I manged to corrupt my dconf database by using up all my disk space.

  Once I freed some space and rebooted, I discovered my dconf database
  was corrupted.

  I also found that compiz was using 100% of one CPU core.
  $HOME/.local/upstart/unity7.log was filled with this error repeating
  continually:

  WARN  2014-07-09 14:21:18 unityinit <unknown>:0 failed to commit
  changes to dconf:
  GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGEr^Cr.Quark._g_2dfile_2derror_2dquark.Code17:
  Cannot open dconf database: invalid gvdb header

  Would be nice if it didn't try to reopen in a loop as much as it can
