OK, I ran strace and it helped me to understand what was happening: juk wasn't hanging but instead it was rebuilding the playlist it was playing when the system was shut down. Under a false assumption that juk was hanging (it really looked like that) I was killing juk too early, not allowing it to rebuild the playlist.

So the solution in my case was easy: I just allowed juk to run for 5 minutes, that was enough time for it to rebuild the playlist and show its window properly. It surely looks like  juk developers   could've handled the situation in a better way but whatever... it works now.
Thanks to everyone who responded.
