Bug#435005: gnome-control-center: gnome-background-properties crashes upon start

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.18.1-1
Severity: important


When gnome-background-properties is started, it shows empty dialog window and  crashes immediately (and spawns up bug 
buddy). I've tried to change gconf value /desktop/gnome/background/draw_background with no effect. Even deleting 
~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml had no effect.

This is what it says in the console, before it dies:
(gnome-background-properties:3793): background-properties-WARNING **: Unknown Tag: comment

This is end of 'strace gnome-background-properties':
