Title:
  gnome-appearance-properties crashes, or launches with an extremely
  wide and empty window

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  When I launch gnome-appearance properties, various things happen:

  1. Most of the time it opens an extremely wide, unusable window, which
  I will attach as a screenshot.

  2. About 1 time in 5, it crashes with this message:

  $ gnome-appearance-properties
  The program 'gnome-appearance-properties' received an X Window System error.
  This probably reflects a bug in the program.
  The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
    (Details: serial 570 error_code 11 request_code 53 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.)

  3. Very occasionally, it launches and works correctly.
