Software Centre Crashes on Startup

[Ross Brunton]

This is my first bug report thing, so be gentle... Or something...

Uh, the Software Centre displays a window with the spinner for a second, then crashes with a "BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)".

Maybe it's to do with Ubuntu SSO? But that's just speculation, or something...

Hmm... Seems if I double click a *.deb package file, it loads normally...

No, wait, it doesn't, sorry...
