Bug#492590: gnome-appearance-properties does not show thumbnails and uses 100% CPU

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.22.2.1-1
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***
Gnome-appearance-properties does not show most of the listbox thumbnails
(themes, controls, windows borders and icons) showing a generic picture
instead with a big question mark in it, only wallpapers and cursors are
shown.
The program uses 100% CPU and remains in memory after being closed
(still using 100% CPU), sending SIGTERM suffices in killing the app.

A new user with an empty %HOME% will not encounter this bug.

There is an Ubuntu bug report maybe covering the issue on:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/211384
At least the screenshot shows exactly the appearance as I see it:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13095778/customize_screenshots.jpg

Having read #448902 I'm adding the following information:
        /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme	Glossy
        /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme	self-made
        /apps/metacity/general/theme		Glossy
	Although changing these will not change the behaviour described above.

	gtk2-engines	1:2.14.3-1 0
	gnome-themes	2.22.2-1 0

That's it, keep up good work!
