When accessing certain parts of the kiba-settings menus, the settings app locks hard, and has to be manually killed. The parts that I have found to be problematic are the RC, Dock, Objects, and Effects sections. As soon as I click the button to switch to those sections, kiba-settings locks up immidiately, dumping the following to the terminal:
matt@box:~$ kiba-settings
