After killing (kill -9, as kill-15 didn't have any effect) initctl, and rebooting the computer, initctl no longer shows up in the "top" command. Therefore, I cannot reproduce the issue on the same computer. Sorry for the noise!
The applications still are pretty slow to start: running libreoffice from a terminal results in more than 1 minute startup, with a freeze of my screen in the meantime (successive startup are fairly instantaneous though). Same for other applications: gnome-sudoku takes 5 seconds for the first startup, less than 1 for any following startup). I know this is not the place to report it, but how can I report this issue, as I don't know which package is involved?
