When selecting the "users" icon in the gnome settings panel, it freezes the settings panel and causes very high cpu usage. Then it asks me to kill the process. It never opens up users settings. emerge -pv gnome-control-center These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Try running it from a terminal as maybe some errors are shown that could help us to find the problem
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #1) > Try running it from a terminal as maybe some errors are shown that could > help us to find the problem I got this v4l related error. It appeared when I clicked "users". $ gnome-control-center libv4l2: error getting pixformat: Inappropriate ioctl for device
As reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-good1.0/+bug/1242367 the problem seems to be with gstreamer. When I blacklist my tv card (saa7134 chipset) things work. This is unrelated with the bug mentioned in "see also".
with 3.12 it works ok.
