Bug Description

Resizing any of the columns on the processes tab in gnome-system-monitor results in heavy disk write activity by dconf-service. This also happens in my installation of ubuntu 12.04.

This does not occur when resizing the columns on the File Systems tab.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

the issue should be fixed with the current dconf in quantal and raring (which batches the write events)
