Segmentation fault when running "gnome-control-center" over X11

[Christopher Barrington-Leigh]

I have two latest-update 11.10 machines next to each other, both with Internet addresses.
I ssh -X from one to the other and launch gnome-control-center, with or without sudo.
From the window that pops up, I click on "User Accounts" and promptly it disappears and my terminal reports a seg fault.

This is repeatable. I get the same thing if I first bring up a remote xterm and then do it from that.

I need to administrate the remote machine, ie to run gnome-control-center, so this bug shuts me down.

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

I can confirm this bug as I encountered it exactly just now. I will also add that many of the icons were missing and I see the following ~25x on the terminal "** (gnome-control-center:25150): WARNING **: Could not find icon"

I don't know how.
At the end of those instructions, I get:

the ddebs are correctly listed in http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/g/gnome-control-center/, did you configure the right oneiric-updates source?

Yes, but I was missing a "1:" at the beginning of the version number.

Backtrace attached now.

thanks!
