MacOS – Mavericks Some System Preferences Panes won’t open

I first noticed there, but many system preferences similar panels won't open anymore. VPN Authentication Settings; Security & Privacy > Advanced; iCloud > Manager or Options; Date & Time > Customize Voice…

I click, the button responds visually but nothing happens. It's almost as if they were decorative buttons now.

While few others do open: Energy Saver > Schedule; Keyboard > Modifier Keys…

The weirdest part is that it's something wrong with my user. If I try from any other user, they work.

There's a big thread on apple forums about this already, but I'm still reading through all of it… Nothing I could see in the first page there helped me as well (specially comments from macjack).

This is what I see on the console:
