Bug Description

I opened System Settings, selected Appearance, changed the Wallpaper dropdown to Pictures folder, clicked the + to select a file (since my wallpapers are in a subfolder of Pictures), and double-clicked my wallpapers folder. gnome-control-center appeared to hang for a couple of seconds and then crashed. Reproduced several times. I just installed precise this morning so I don't know whether this ever worked.

If I place backgrounds in the Pictures folder itself (not a subfolder) they show up automatically and can be selected. However, clicking the + and double-clicking an image file also causes a crash.

I assume I'll need to install some debug symbols for the stack trace to be useful; can you tell me which packages I should install them for? Thanks.

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

outdated debug symbol package for libcolord1: package version 0.1.16-2 dbgsym version 0.1.12-1ubuntu2.1
libgtk-3-common version 3.3.14-0ubuntu2 required, but 3.3.14-0ubuntu3 is available
libgail-3-0 version 3.3.14-0ubuntu2 required, but 3.3.14-0ubuntu3 is available
libaccountsservice0 version 0.6.15-2ubuntu6 required, but 0.6.15-2ubuntu7 is available
accountsservice version 0.6.15-2ubuntu6 required, but 0.6.15-2ubuntu7 is available
libgtk-3-bin version 3.3.14-0ubuntu2 required, but 3.3.14-0ubuntu3 is available
libgtk-3-0 version 3.3.14-0ubuntu2 required, but 3.3.14-0ubuntu3 is available
mountall version 2.33 required, but 2.34 is available

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!
