Bug Description

It seems that it does this for all the following: User Accounts, Network, Color, Universal Access, Mouse and Touchpad, Printers, Sound, Wacom Tablet. All other options seem to work just find without much of an issue. This seemed to happen after I updated today (10/31/2014).

I think this related to Gnome Control Center based plugs.

I'm guessing you were using an unsupported version of gnome-control-center, like the one from the GNOME PPA

Since I installed Freya beta 1, I'm not able to open sound preferences, it always crashes and I'm not using any unsupported version of gnome-control-center, just the one shipped with Freya, so I guess that'đ not the problem.

Which version is that exactly? Could you run "apt-cache show libgnome-control-center1" and paste the output? It could be that they changed a typename. At least that would fit the backtrace.

did any of you added the GNOME PPA for installing/updating some GNOME apps, and then perhaps forgot to remove it and did an update/dist-upgrade some time later on? If so, you'll have just that. It will break exactly User Accounts, Network, Color, Universal Access, Mouse and Touchpad, Printers, Sound, Wacom Tablet in switchboard. This is like Cody says above and don't looks like a bug to me.
