In branch 1.6 (but not trunk as far as I can tell from looking at the code),
wireshark will crash at startup for users without a ~/.wireshark dir, or with
no recently used files. We didn't try defining MAIN_MENU_USE_UIMANAGER to see
if it would work.

gtk_menu_get_attach_widget(GTK_MENU(menu_item)) is NULL, so it crashes in
gtk_widget_set_sensitive.

#0  0x00933597 in gtk_widget_get_sensitive ()
   from /opt/TWWfsw/libgtk+222/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
#1  0x080979d2 in update_menu_recent_capture_file ()
#2  0x0809bb4a in main_menu_new ()
#3  0x08093644 in main ()

The attached patch works for us.
