I have almost the  same problem (with xmonad instead of i3) after my
upgrade from ubuntu 14.04 to 15.04. However sudo gnome-control-center
doesn't work either. env | grep XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP doesn't return
anything.

env  | grep xmonad gives:

DESKTOP_SESSION=xmonad
MANDATORY_PATH=/usr/share/gconf/xmonad.mandatory.path
DEFAULTS_PATH=/usr/share/gconf/xmonad.default.path
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=xmonad
GDMSESSION=xmonad
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-xmonad:/etc/xdg
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/xmonad:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/

I  tried DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome; XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=gnome;
GDMSESSION=gnome; gnome-control-center without success.

Title:
   Most settings panels suddenly missing from gnome-control-center

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I launch it from my default (non-root) user account, the gnome-control-center is missing all settings panels, except "Printers" and "Software & Updates".
  Launching it with a commandline parameter to open a specific settings panel fails, too:
    $ gnome-control-center display
    ** (gnome-control-center.real:10217): WARNING **: Could not find settings panel "display"

  I can only access the panels that aren't listed by launching gnome-
  control-center as root.

  I previously had access to the panels that are now only displayed for
  root, but I can't pinpoint what caused them to vanish. Is there
  anything I could do to find and fix whatever caused this?

  I have already reported this bug on bugzilla.gnome.org[1], but apparently version 3.6.3 of the gnome-control-center is no longer supported by the GNOME developers and neither are Ubuntu's patched versions of it.
  [1]: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734349

  I'm using Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 with i3 as my window manager, but with
  the gnome-settings-daemon running to handle keyboard shortcuts and
  display configuration.
