The "About me" capplet doesn't store information (always opens empty)

[Vítor E. Silva Souza]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

1) vitor@seattle:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch)
Release: 11.04

2) vitor@seattle:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-control-center

3) I opened the Control Center, opened the About Me section of the configuration, set my avatar picture and filled in some data. Closed it. Re-opened it and I expected the information that I filled to be there.

4) Instead, all fields (and the picture) were empty.

I have this same bug on 11.04, on my Sony Vaio VPCF115FM laptop. Thought I was doing something wrong as I'm a completely new user to Ubuntu (and Linux in general).
