I tried out 3.8.0 but I’m still seeing the same behavior (on my laptop, my iMac 
is still fine with this version). I uploaded the output of gPodder -v here:

http://pastebin.com/Y1UsHvRi

At the point where I open the preferences pane, this occurs:

1407426553.761490 [gpodder.config] DEBUG: auto.update.enabled: False -> True
1407426553.761720 [gpodder.util] DEBUG: run_in_background: <bound method 
UIConfig.save_thread_proc of <gpodder.gtkui.config.UIConfig object at 
0x10577a450>> (True)
1407426553.860766 [gpodder.gtkui.main] DEBUG: Setting up auto update timer with 
interval 20.

This is happening with my old gPodder directory moved to a separate location, 
so it doesn’t seem to be related to my specific preferences.
