screenshot snip of problematic notification

Description of problem:
Patch 0001-housekeeping-Add-a-GPU-memory-usage-notification.patch adds GPU memory utilization support to the housekeeping plugin built into gnome-settings-daemon.

However, unlike other housekeeping functionality, there are no gconf/dconf/gsettings keys to control this. On systems with relatively low amounts of GPU memory, this results in frequent useless warning messages that cannot be disabled or hidden.

In my case, the only indication of low GPU memory is the notification itself.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.32.0-16.el8 (though it is likely this affects all versions of this, as I have not been able to locate any followups on this patch since it's initial authorship)

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Utilize Gnome with an nvidia GPU with relatively little memory, using the proprietary driver (
2. Run several applications such as Slack, MS Teams, Discord
3. Observe repeated warning notifications (screenshot snippet attached) - sometimes several per minute.

Actual results:
Warning functionality is mandatory

Expected results:
Warning functionality is configurable/optional

Additional info:
Host has the following GPU and driver:
GPU (lspci): 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107GL [Quadro K600] (rev a1)
Driver: kmod-nvidia-470.82.01-4.18.0-348.12.2-470.82.01-3.el8_5.x86_64 via https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/rhel8/x86_64
Kernel: 4.18.0-348.12.2.el8_5.x86_64

Note that this is not kernel/driver version specific. This has been occuring for months over several versions of both.
