Public bug reported:
When I open the Appearance panel in the GNOME Control Centre, it begins
loading thumbnails for candidate background images, but after a few
screenfuls (several seconds) it crashes.
This used to be a problem (probably somewhere about 10.X and 11.X, but I
can't quite remember) but then somewhere along the way I *think* it
stopped happening. But I don't try to change the background image at all
frequently... well, now I've tried and it's either still happening or
happening once again.
The backtrace I see when running gnome-control-center from the command
line suggests it's crashing in font rendering while producing a
thumbnail of an SVG file. I'm quite willing to assist further if
desired.
