Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Seeing issues with gnome-appearance-properties in Intrepid. gnome-control-center: Installed: 1:2.24.0.1-0ubuntu7.1

Symptoms are the application will launch, but not appear on screen. CPU will drive up to 80% - 90% utilized. After about 1 - 2 minutes the application will actually open, allowing the user to change their settings.

Doing an strace on this application shows that it's doing through /proc/mounts when launching. This is a problem here because we are using autofs5 with ldap and our /proc/mounts file is over 9000 lines long. I've deduced that it's spinning the CPU while trudging through our very large /proc/mounts file and this is why it's taking so long.
