Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Seeing issues with gnome-appearance-properties in Intrepid.  gnome-
control-center: Installed: 1:2.24.0.1-0ubuntu7.1

Symptoms are the application will launch, but not appear on screen.  CPU
will drive up to 80% - 90% utilized.  After about 1 - 2 minutes the
application will actually open, allowing the user to change their
settings.

Doing an strace on this application shows that it's going through
/proc/mounts when launching.  This is a problem here because we are
using autofs5 with ldap and our /proc/mounts file is over 9000 lines
long.  I've deduced that it's spinning the CPU while trudging through
our very large /proc/mounts file and this is why it's taking so long.

** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
