Bug Description
Since my upgrade to Kubuntu 16.10, the system crashes randomly when some applications are active: the screen becomes black and the whole system freezes, even the keyboard (no access to Ctrl + Alt + F1).
This only happens when some specific applications are active, whatever I may be doing in it. So far, this bug has been confirmed in several terminal applications (Konsole, Gnome Terminal, Terminator, QTerminal) as well as Calibre Viewer and Gwenview.
This is making my work very difficult : I have to restart my system and all my programming environment several times a day.

The system freeze happens several times a day, usually after using Konsole for some time.
However it also happened once when Gwenview was active. Those are the only two KDE Frameworks 5 applications that I use (mostly Konsole), so it may be related.
It has never happened when another application was active (so when I don't use Konsole for a week, it never happens).
This issue is unrelated to CPU activity or RAM.
