Bug Description

When going into CCSM and selecting a profile, a broken list of profiles
is generated in in the profile view, Eg

1. Default
2. " "
3. "%%#"
4. "@AFdd"

test case:
1. install the new version in -proposed
2. start in the unity session, with unity loaded
3. open ccsm
4. click on preferences
5. see that the "unity" profile is still there and selected

Thank you for fix.
I can confirm that the CCSM profile lists is displayed correctly.
And, I can select profiles and see "unity" in the profile lists .

Excellent - there were loads of users who where clicking on Preferences just out of curiosity & getting immediately switched to the default profile with resultant issues

It would be nice to see this pushed out to oneiric [universe] , many users continue to click on "Preferences" solely out of curiosity & or habit which can have unfortunate results.

The time came and went to put this into universe . Please someone go ahead and do it because people are still breaking their desktops because of that . When I updated I expected that the package is updated and broke again , fixed again, in order to continue using everithing allright (good thing I knew about the fix and did it in 2 mins..) .
