That configuration dialog is deprecated in GNOME3 and Oneiric so closing
the bug, feel free to open new bugs about other issues you might find
though

Title:
  Handling large list of wallpaper images in Appearance Preferences
  dialog freezes the window

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in Debian GNU/Linux:

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

  Description:	Ubuntu 8.04
  Release:	8.04

  gnome-control-center:
    Installed: 1:2.22.1-0ubuntu4.1

  What is expected:
  Window will open and let me choose theme/fonts/visual effects without touching wallpapers.

  What does happen:
  Window opens and then freezes, actual time depends on amount of wallpaper images added to the «Wallpapers» list before.

  How to reproduce: 
  1. right click on desktop
  2. go to «Background» tab
  3. add high amount of images (I have 200+ high-res images) and close the window
  4a. repeat step #1 once.
  4b. select System/Preferences/Appearance
  5. the window is now freezed while all images are being added, even if the «Background» tab is not selected and the list of wallpapers is not visible.
