Some further investigation and help from `nickoe` on the #kicad
channel on Freenode have lead me to find out that kicad was getting
confused with something still remaining from an older built-from-source
install still remaining in /usr/local. While I had removed most of the
binaries and libraries in there, there was apparently something still
left behind. A more thorough removal of various pieces there has now
fixed all my hanging issues.

I think this bug can be closed now.

Thanks all :)
