Bug Description
1) I am using Ubuntu 11.10
2) The software-center version is 5.0.4
3/4) I can open the software center after logging in completely fine, however, when I exit the software-center and then try to open it again, the software-center will not load, I only see the grey default background. The program is still responsive and I can close the window by pushing X, it is just that nothing is happening besides the grey window.
I can reproduce the error on my computer most of the time but no 100% reliably. Sometimes the software-center will open also if it was open before. However, most of the time above described pattern occurs and I do not know how those conditions differ, it seems to be randomly working sometime.
If I start the software-center in the terminal the only line popping up is: 2012-01-30 01:09:43,247 - softwarecenter.
When I log out and log back in I can start the software-center once without any problems and afterwards the same problems begin.
I do not remember when the problems exactly started but it was not before I started using 11.04. I upgraded directly from 10.10 to 11.04 and from 11.04 to 11.10.
