Throttle saving of column state (3.88 KB, patch)

Description Robert Roth 2012-10-11 09:59:59 UTC 
Forwarded from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-monitor/+bug/1058233 originally reported by Brian Buchanan 
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 is caused by the fact that writing of the column widths to gsettings happens on on-size-changed, it should be adjusted to start a thread, and write the new sizes after 3 seconds, or something.

Throttle saving of column state

Instead of continuously updating the gsettings key, save it
only after resizing is pause for 250msecs.
