gnome-control-center takes 100% CPU

[Aditya V]

Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 2
unity 5.4.0
gnome-control-center 1:3.3.90-0ubuntu1

When I have the GNOME Control Center open, I have soaring CPU usage by it - constantly at 100% according to top, and my computer's fan runs wild when it's open. I'm not sure why, but I would assume that, if idle, it should not do anything and have near 0% CPU usage.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open Appearance settings
2) Open a terminal
3) run 'top' and see if gnome-control-center is taking tons of CPU
