Yeah, clearly installed via dnf in some routine update, in my case in
mid-December.  I see it on two other local systems here, but it's not
running continuously on them, just on the one system.  Must be a config
somewhere, but the man page doesn't mention any configuration files,
just some startup and debug options.  Wonder if it's crawling across NFS
mounts to my NAS?

It seems odd that just disabling/masking the systemd services isn't sufficient but maybe flipping X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true to false might also help.
