I found out that I could workaround the issue by uninstalling the 
finnish locale for GNOME. (Sorry, I forgot to go mention it on the bug 
report. It was during a working day and I simply forgot about the whole 
issue.) After reinstalling the language packages, it crashes again, so 
let me see what happens with valgrind...

This message war printed 4 times to STDERR:

(GNOME Control Center:1670): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from 
markup due to error parsing markup: Virhe rivillä 1, kohdassa 9: 
Virheellinen UTF-8-merkistöinen teksti

The finnish part says: "Error on line N, position M: Malformed UTF-8
text".


I don't know how long I should let this gnome-control-center run on 
valgrind. I just do not see the window appearing despite waiting for 5 
minutes, and valgrind says it detected more than 10000000 errors and 
stops reporting new errors. I hope it's okay that I just aborted it.
