This bug seems to impact many GTK2 applications including KeepassXC,
Filezilla and OnlyOffice Desktop-Editor, HexChat, Lazarus and any
application built using Lazarus that targets the GTK2 platform.
Descriptions include

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1184774/some-applications-on-ubuntu-19-10-very-slow-to-start

Solutions include:
 1. (temporary). Run as super user, e.g.: sudo ./project1
 2. (temporary). Run using: dbus-launch --exit-with-session ./project1
 3. (Permanent). Install "sudo apt-get install appmenu-gtk2-module" and restart.
I am not sure what the root cause is, but one solution would be to have 
appmenu-gtk2-module installed whenever someone installs "libgtk2.0-0". It is 
obvious to the user that that these applications require libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 as 
the programs will not launch without it. The problem with the current situation 
is that the programs do not list appmenu-dtk2-module as a dependency but do not 
launch appropriately without it.
