Can you try this fix (for master, but should be backported too):
https://code.wireshark.org/review/13154
It also means that somehow the gui.layout_type field was set to 0... But
the default on master-2.0 is:
epan/prefs.c:3032: prefs.gui_layout_type = layout_type_5;
Does Ubuntu include a default prefs file having gui.layout_type:0?
