Public bug reported:

syndaemon is polling at 5Hz even on an idle system. It is  waking up the
CPU and wasting power.

However, it is running with -R option that should enable it to use
XRecord which avoids polling, so I believe gnome-settings-daemon is
doing the right thing.  This used to work, I believe it was fixed for
natty (see bug #633125), so it is a regressed on Oneric and it is also
broken in Precise (I checked against today's daily build).
