A black screen is indicative of an X server crash rather than a
Compiz/Unity crash (which will leave windows open and functional on the
desktop, but without decorations).

It is possible there is a bug in the current Intel driver for the X
server triggered by something in the control center module.  Certainly,
I can reproduce the hang between tabs, since the control center modules
are performing synchronous interprocess communication with other parts
of the system, but that looks like an entirely unrelated problem to
crashing the X server.

We're going to need more information to analyse this bug further.  I
suggest we start with running "apport-collect --package=unity 1243297"
from a terminal to get updated information on the desktop Unity state,
and go from there.

Title:
  Security and Privacy crashes Compiz and Unity on open

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  On a couple of occasions now opening Security and Privacy from the
  Dash has crashed Compiz and Unity giving black screens, followed by an
  unresponsive desktop before eventually returning to normal.

  Also, the Security and Privacy app is often unresponsive and grey
  screens between tabs.
