Bug#316798: gnome-control-center: GNOME session startup is blocked

[KELEMEN Peter]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.10.1-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After upgrade, GNOME session startups are blocked by
/usr/lib/control-center/gnome-settings-daemon sitting in a read()
syscall and not advancing.  Reproduced on two different hardware.
