Bug Description

Running Ubuntu 12.04 with the Cinnamon desktop, after the most recent update the "System Settings" window appears as a blank white screen. The headers for APPEARANCE, PREFERENCES, and HARDWARE are present, but the usual icons for *Background, *Hot Corners, *Printers, etc. are no longer visible. Some of these settings can still be altered via the terminal:
`cinnamon-settings backgrounds`
`cinnamon-settings applets`
`cinnamon-settings mouse and touchpad`

but other commands, such as `cinnamon-settings hot corners` are met with an error. Only the Cinnamon Settings window is affected. Ubuntu's stock System Settings menu still functions normally, but many of these settings are redundant and conflict with Cinnamon's settings.
