Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1) open gnome-control-center
2) click on user-accounts
OR
1) In terminal type: "gnome-control-center user-accounts"

What I expect to happen:
* user-accounts opens

What happened instead:
* gnome-control-center hangs and greys out
* user-accounts does not open
* if started from terminal the following message is visible: "libv4l2: error getting pixformat: Unpassender IOCTL (I/O-Control) für das Gerät" (german localization)

System: Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy (with Unity)
gnome-control-center: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu45.1

As there is a message complaining something about v4l it may be useful to know that there is no webcam plugged.
Edit: I've discovered that there is a old tv-card (Medion 7134) in this computer which might cause this bug.

Marked as a duplicate of bug #1242367 as the description matches (terminal message and tv-card involved)
