Segmentation fault after some config change

I had this issue:

~$ gnome-control-center

(gnome-control-center:3317): Gdk-WARNING **: 08:37:28.693: Cannot transform xsetting gtk-xft-dpi of type gchararray to type gint

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After some googling, I found a suggestion at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=244792

I executed the command:

dconf reset -f /org/gnome/control-center/

And the gnome-control-center was able to open again
