I a running Wireshark 2.0.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 and experiencing sometimes hangs
during the startup process. Wireshark would hang during "loading module
preferences". Sometimes it will complete the startup after some time, other
times it just hangs forever.

I did a strace of the startup process, that may help to debug:

open("/home/xxx/.config/wireshark/dfilters", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
open("/home/xxx/.config/wireshark/filters", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
open("/usr/share/wireshark/dfilters", O_RDONLY) = 13
fstat(13, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=701, ...}) = 0
read(13, "\"Ethernet address 00:00:5e:00:53"..., 4096) = 701
read(13, "", 4096)                      = 0
close(13)                               = 0
open("/usr/share/wireshark/disabled_protos", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
open("/home/xxx/.config/wireshark/disabled_protos", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/wireshark/heuristic_protos", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
open("/home/xxx/.config/wireshark/heuristic_protos", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wireshark/extcap/",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 13
fstat(13, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
getdents(13, /* 3 entries */, 32768)    = 80
pipe2([18, 19], 0)                      = 0
pipe2([20, 21], 0)                      = 0
clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
child_tidptr=0x7f6f47d23b90) = 17520
close(19)                               = 0
close(21)                               = 0
read(18, "", 8)                         = 0
close(18)                               = 0
select(21, [20], NULL, NULL, NULL)      = 1 (in [20])
