Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Ubuntu karmic (development branch) 9.10
gnome-control-center:
  Installed: 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu2 0

I accidentally clicked in the white space beside the desktop background thumbnails, obviously didn't expect anything but the program promptly crashes. Tried it several times and always the same result.
