[Bug 1191700] Re: [saucy] software-properties-gtk crashed with Exception NameHasNoOwner: Could not get owner of name 'com.ubuntu.SoftwareProperties'

[B Bobo]

The error message appears when one of the Ubuntu update programs runs
automatically shortly after GUI login. The error message also appears
when I try to run USC manually, and USC crashes. Soon the whole desktop
crashes too.

This all started after applying saucy updates dated 2013-06-14.
