Had the same problem (MegaWizard hangs during ALTPLL edit) on my main machine (desktop with latest Ubuntu 17.10, NVIDIA graphics card) while it always worked fine on my Thinkpad (exact same OS). My workaround for quite some time, then, was a remote login to my Laptop whenever I needed to edit a PLL and do it there (using "ssh -X" to the Thinkpad).
