I have further information.
For me, I find that this problem occurs only with the plugin QuickUnlock
installed.
When QuickUnlock is installed, this problem recurs when using KeePass2
prior to the automatic lock — as set in Tools > Options > Security >
Lock workspace after KeePass inactivity
After some experimentation, it seems that KeePass2 will work correctly
if, after starting it for the first time, it is left alone for a couple
of minutes before using it.
Perhaps there is some type of database reorganisation that takes place
each day, and causes KeePass2 to hang if used before it
Further experimentation seems to indicate that there is a problem with
copying to the clipboard.
KeePass2 works fine until I double-click a username or password, at
which point it hangs.
If I instead open the entry, highlight the username or password, and
copy, then I can paste it into certain
I have the same problem. When using auto-type or when double-clicking on
an entry to copy the password to the clipboard, KeePass2 hangs and I
have to kill it.
Restarting used to fix the problem, but unfortunately no longer.
I am using Lubuntu 16.04 64-bit.

What happens if you use gksudo instead of gksu? (Officially, there is no
difference between gksu and gksudo, but in fact there is a subtle
difference.)
Also, if you use sudo, you should use -H, as:
sudo -H nautilus

@Freecore: Thank you for your comments.
For whatever reason (probably the post is too old), I cannot edit my
original post; but your gksudo gksudo is so much easier than my
solution. And weird!
