How do I remove "gsettings-helper" process

It only takes 7MB of my RAM, but I would like to disable it/may be remove it, if its not really of much use to me.

When I was in Ubuntu with open-box WM, I didn't have that process running. Now too I'm on open-box WM.

The man page tells me it's related to gnome. I have no Idea how to remove it. 

"sudo pacman -Q |grep settings" returns nothing.

Can you help me?

And in that relevant line see /etc/pulse/default.pa where you could remove/comment

### Load additional modules from GSettings. This can be configured with the paprefs tool.
### Please keep in mind that the modules configured by paprefs might conflict with manually
### loaded modules.
.ifexists module-gsettings.so
.nofail
load-module module-gsettings
.fail
.endif

FWIW it takes barely 1MB of RAM here, the bulk of the 7 are shared libraries like libc and glib that you're likely to have loaded in other capacity.
