When this happens, if you run `ps -ef | grep -i systemsettings`, does it show that System Settings was already open (and presumably hung in the background)?

Ok that might be the case. It seems the situation didn't come again for now. I will check if it is hanging in the background when it happens and then I guess killing it is a workaround to be able to open it again.
