Title:
  Gnome Control Center Crashes when attempting to open "Details" (Ubuntu
  13.10)

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Incomplete
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Raring:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  * Gnome control center will crash when Clicking on the Details tab.
  * only affects the virtualbox glX driver

  [Testcase]
  - Load VirtualBox VM with 3D enabled.
  - Open gnome-control-center and click 'details'
  - This will crash gnome-control-center, 100% reproducible

  [Regression Potential]
  Very low, this patch adds a glXQueryVersion call, which forces the virtualbox glX driver to correctly initialise before calling glXChooseFBConfig. This is entirely redundant on any other glX drivers and unlikely to cause any regressions.

  === Original Bug Report ===
  On Ubuntu 13.10, when I search for "Details " in the dash, I see the mouse cursor (meaning it's loading something). But then gnome-control-panel crashes and I get "Ubuntu 13.10 has encountered an internal error".

  This also happens when I go to System Settings from the launcher and
  then to "Details".

  NOTE: I'm running 13.10 in a virtual machine on Ubuntu 12.04.

  ----------------
  1) Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 13.10 x64

  4) Reality: Nothing happened; not even a window opened. I only get an error (mentioned above).
