Can confirm that the roll back of PR #637, PR #641 has resolved this issue. SAFE Browser launches as expected on Linux Mint 19.

Tested on Ubuntu 18.04 and behaviour has returned to the previous - #627 is still seen. Workaround (as described in browser README) resolves the issue: sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4.
