Public bug reported: I am not certain this bug only appears with the software-center package, but this is the only application that totally crash because of it. The problem appeared when I upgraded from ubuntu 12.10 to 13.04. I am only trying to open the software-center through the command line and the result is always the same:

This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 1838 error_code 9 request_code 62 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) This problem has appeared on both of my computers after upgrading from 120.10 to 13.04.
