required info

After a recent upgrade, kde-plasma/plasma-meta-5.10.5 window started freezing sporadically.  The only diagnostic message given was:

   QXcbWindow: Unhandled client message: '_NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP'

Which seems to happen either when switching between browsers or multiple windows (I typically have 6 configured).

This happens quite regularly (a couple of times a day).

Sorry I cannot give any more info at this time.  If I find more I will add to the bug.

The least info you could give is about `emerge --info` and your graphic drivers, how it freezes (fatally or temporarily).

I've already attached the required 'emerge --info' yesterday.  Please see the first attachement.

The freezing happens when I am working on researching some things on the net, or editing a document, and everything freezes.  To gain some control I logged into a command line interface, started windows with startx, and then killed it when it froze by <ctr-alt-f1>, kill and restart it.  

I did find one possible clue though.  When I rebuilt the the system 6 months ago it appears that I forgot to set the VIDEO_CARDS variable.  As I recall I had set it some place as a radeon.  The former one was set to "intel nouveau vesa".  I will rebuild and test.
