<snip> 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?
Some of the first few links from the DDG search might be worth reviewing:

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.
These might also be of interest:
