Bug Description
I use software-center 5.0 in oneiric amd64 from today. When I started the software-center, it only showed a gray window without any content. I restarted it multiple times but nothing changed. I attached a screenshot to the bug report.
Starting it on the CLI does not show any errors:
% software-center
2011-10-05 19:30:58,883 - softwarecenter.
Is there any kind of debug mode to track down the issue?

Hi Matthias, and thank you for your report. We have seen this error before, and the there is a workaround that should take care of it. Please type the following into a terminal:
killall software-center
Alternatively, a reboot should also clear the problem. If either of these does not fix it, please report back here.
Thanks!
