I don't know why the original reporter filed a bug against Ubuntu, when he or she is not using Ubuntu, but I've taken the liberty to re-open the bug since I can confirm the problem exists on Ubuntu 13.10, running under GNOME 3. (Wireshark starts normally, then hangs when switching to packet dump view.)
The above-mentioned LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR work-around resolves the issue, so it might be related to #1208583, although I don't see an actual crash (only a hang), and it happens consistently for me. Although the "overlay-scrollbar" component appears implicated, I have not observed the problem in other applications than Wireshark.
