Bug#483357: system-config-printer: application hangs on start

[Michael Musenbrock]

Package: system-config-printer
Version: 0.7.81-3
Severity: important

If I start the system-config-printer the applications hangs, the window
pops up, but on the inside it does not render anything (stays gray) and
then the gnome bug-buddy is comming up and says the thing is broken.

bug-buddy output, maybe it helps anything:
