Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Sometimes, apparently at random, when I open the gnome control center (these days usually by selecting "System Settings" from the powerswitch menu), it appears not to open, but in fact it has opened but is invisible. If I click/drag randomly inside the area where it would be the mouse seems to pick up one of the control center icons. Otherwise the desktop is generally unresponsive (the whole desktop, not just the area under where the window would be) and I have to ssh in from another machine (or switch to console) to killall gnome-control-center to recover. Usually then the next time I run it, it's fine.
