It's the "unity-control-center appearance" which hangs when I right-click on the desktop and choose "Change Desktop Background". After that unity-control-center won't start. Neither from the top-right-button menu nor from the shell.
A "killall -HUP unity-control-center" fixes it.

** Summary changed:

- System Settings (unity-control-center) won't start
+ Change Desktop Background hangs, making System Settings (unity-control-center) inoperable

** Description changed:

- $ unity-control-center 
+ First right-click on the desktop and choose "Change Desktop Background". Nothing happens. After that System Settings refuse to show.
+ E.g.:
+ $ unity-control-center
  Failed to register: Timeout was reached
- $ 
+ $
