Think this is a QT issue.

Please purge the package `qt5-gtk2-platformtheme` and try to run those apps taking a long time.

If they work - please reinstall that package above and then report the issue to launchpad so that the QT maintainers are made aware:

```
ubuntu-bug qt5-gtk2-platformtheme

```

You can purge that package again after reporting the issue.
