system-config-lvm crashes on startup with error 'The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.' 'OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe'

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

I have added a partition in lvm after that system-config-lvm is crashing on start-up.
getting the following error

The program 'system-config-lvm' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 7645 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
