Steps to reproduce:

1) Download Ubuntu Desktop 13.10 i386 release (disk id 20131016.1), download links at
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/305/builds/55929/downloads

2) Using Virtual Machine Manager - set a VM to have little RAM, e.g. 798 MB, boot from the above iso.

3) Click try ubuntu

4) Enable repositories:
- edit /etc/apt/sources.list to add universe component
- Enable gnome3 ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

4) update & dist-upgrade

5) Click on Ubuntu Software Centre icon from the launcher

It will appear to be loading, the UI will be fully rendered, but the full-width banner, which is white. The window goes gray, and disappears. There is a crash file generated for software-center in /var/crash/.

I can provide remote access to this VM, crash-files, and/or recompile packages with debug symbols as needed.
