Yep, there's gnome-settings-daemon poking its head in at the 5 sec
mark.  Bit earlier than I would have guessed, though.

Compiz appears to be doing a lot of querying at around the 5.8 sec mark
(glxinfo/xdpyinfo/xvinfo/lspci).  I don't think any of those trigger an
edid probe but guess it's possible.
