gnome-appearance-properties crashed with SIGSEGV in strlen()

[Rich]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I have what appears to be a bright blue background in my WM for a wallpaper instead of my set wallpaper.

When I attempt to open gnome-appearance-properties, I get the following output:

(gnome-appearance-properties:5128): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_display_sync: assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed

** (gnome-appearance-properties:5128): CRITICAL **: gnome_desktop_thumbnail_factory_lookup: assertion `uri != NULL' failed
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) gnome-appearance-properties

This occurs 100% of the time in this login session when I run the command gnome-appearance-properties, be it from terminal or from the right-click menu on the desktop.

Ubuntu 9.10 amd64, up to date as of within 24h.
