Bug Description

I am not using the ubuntu modifications of gnome-shell and therefore the Appearance tab in the gnome-control center is essentially useless, and what's worse choosing an option in the window colors selection simply crashes control center.

Therefore it would be appreciated to only show the appearance tab when using the ubuntu-session.
If this is not possible please create a separate package gnome-control-center-ubuntu since I want to be able to use gnome-shell as intended by upstream without the ubuntu modifications being forced on me.

Esokrates, please don't confirm your own bugs. However, I can confirm that the Appearance tab appears when logging in to an Ubuntu session and that the crash occurs when selecting the various colour options.

Oops, sorry comment #1 should have referred to logging into a GNOME session (on Xorg). It shouldn't be seen when logging in to an Ubuntu session.

Robert, could you have a look to this one? The dock panel used to not show in GNOME sessions so probably an easy check to restore?
