Same bug running Debian buster/sid and Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06).
In my case strace showed that Inkscape tried to access a file on a NFS mount via stat() that failed as I was on travel / not in my home LAN. The UI behaviour was that Inkscape froze and htop showed one of the Inkscape threads being in state "D" - uninterruptible sleep (usually IO).
Having a quick peek in the source code - /src/ui/interface.cpp has a function sp_ui_build_dyn_menus() which looks promising to debug - let's hope I find some time to compile Inkscape and debug soon...
