Public bug reported:
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.
