It’s showing an empty window with correct title and quick search bar, but the content is empty. Window is not resizable, but responds to moving and search bar is typeable. If ran from command line it doesn’t print anything on the console.
I don’t know what to do now. Any help as to how I can diagnose what’s wrong with this app is appreciated.

not really!
how did you upgrade?
did you upgrade because you were have problems in 11.4? what kinds of
problems (because an upgrade will often leave in place configuration
files which were the cause of the problems you tried to leave behind…)
like did you go from 11.4 to 12.1 and then to 12.2?
or, straight from 11.4 to 12.2, and how did you do that…
I downloaded the DVD image and wrote it on a USB stick.
Then I booted system from USB stick and chose ‘Installation’.
I mostly used the default selections the installation processed was offering to me.
I was doing upgrade from 64 bit 11.4 straight to 64 bit 12.2.
I had no problems with my 11.4 release whatsoever during my 1.5 years of using it, everything was working. The only reason I tried 12.2 is because some libraries/programs become old in 11.4 and newer versions never made it to 11.4 repos Like I tried updating skype 2.x to 4.x and it said it needed libtiff 4(5?) etc. If I knew how to make newer libraries coexist with the old ones and where to get them I’d probably be happy with my 11.4 release.
I don’t think upgrade is failed. Everything seems to be working in 12.2 after I fixed video drivers (installed proprietary nvidia) and network. Everything except the “System Settings”.
I was using GNOME 2 in 11.4 (I wish it was possible to keep using it instead of the 3rd one in 12.2)

you could try using YaST > Security & Users > User & Group Management to
add a TestUser, then log out of your desktop and log back into as the
TestUser…and, see if the “systems settings” work there…if they do
then you know some config files in your /home has been corrupted in some
way…like maybe it is still the GNOME2 config file…i do NOT know if
that is even possible…but, i DO know that the upgrade you described
should only be done one step at a time…that is from 11.4 you upgrade
to 12.1 and apply all the updates to it to bring it right up to date,
and then boot from the 12.2 DVD and do what you did…so, there is
really no one who could tell you what got messed up…
if your TestUser works ok come back and say so, and maybe a GNOME3
guru will drop in and explain how to protect data and rename some config
file so it will auto-generate a new one (which will exactly match the
one in the working ok TestUser’s desktop)
Like I tried updating skype 2.x to 4.x and it said it needed libtiff 4(5?) etc. If I knew how to make newer libraries coexist with the old ones and where to get them I’d probably be happy with my 11.4 release.
