Title:
  Software Center fails to start: BadWinidow

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Software Center persistently fails to start. A window will appear, but
  will disappear within a few seconds, and the program exits.

  Running it from a console permitted me to grab these error details:

  (software-center:7972): Gdk-WARNING **:
  /build/buildd/gtk+3.0-3.1.18/./gdk/x11/gdkwindow-x11.c:4766 drawable
  is not a native X11 window

  Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'software-center' received an X Window System error.
  This probably reflects a bug in the program.
  The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
    (Details: serial 1372 error_code 3 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
     that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
     To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
     option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
     backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
