Caribou seems to be launched by default in GNOME session and it eats a few percentage of CPU power for no reason, since I don't need any on-screen keyboard or other assistive input. Is there any way to disable this on a per-user case?

It also sends lots of dbus messages when you type on the keyboard.

It's always up there on my Powertop list.
