gnome-control-center.real crashed with SIGSEGV in gnome_control_center_show()

[Steve Holmes]

Cannot launch System Settings dialog, or any individual settings (e.g. Printers).

Had the same problem in 13.10 (Ubuntu Gnome), not fixed by upgrading to 14.04

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is this issue planned for a future release ? How could we help push this issue to be fixed ?

Running 14.04 LTS with gnome 3.10.4
got this error message: gnome-control-center.real crashed with SIGSEGV
 and in sys log: Could not upload; processing later (/var/crash/_usr_bin_gnome-control-center.real.1000.crash).
