System Settings won't open after upgrade to Gnome 3.4.1

After I upgraded to the new Gnome, when I try to open system settings, the cursor changes to the loading icon, then goes back to normal and nothing happens. Any ideas?

If you're using the nouveau graphics driver; possibly the issue reported here.

The MALLOC_CHECK_=1 gnome-control-center, worked for me, but still waiting for a permanent fix.

I also noticed that my gnome extensions aren't working anymore.

I am on Ati open source, MALLOC_CHECK_=1 gnome-control-center works. Does this one get fixed?
