It's the "unity-control-center appearance" which hangs when I right-click on
the desktop and choose "Change Desktop Background". After that
unity-control-center won't start. Neither from the top-right-button menu nor
from the shell.
A "killall -HUP unity-control-center" fixes it.
** Summary changed:
- System Settings (unity-control-center) won't start
+ Change Desktop Background hangs, making System Settings
(unity-control-center) inoperable
** Description changed:
- $ unity-control-center
+ First right-click on the desktop and choose "Change Desktop Background".
Nothing happens. After that System Settings refuse to show.
+ E.g.:
+ $ unity-control-center
Failed to register: Timeout was reached
