Title:
  software-center opens then just closes very quickly.

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

Bug description:
  Well if i run software-center (either from command line or from unity)
  it opens, then decides to close before I can do anything with it. The
  reasons i get from the command lines is:

  not a native X11 window

  (software-center:6836): Gdk-WARNING **: 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 1404 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.)

  Thanks to anybody who can help :)
