[Bug 1440210]

[Bogdan Hlevca]

The problem is NOT the Nouveau driver. I have the proprietary one and I
still have the 30 seconds freezing problem when I start a KDE
application. There are no issues for non KDE applications.

The problem, as I already mentioned in my original message, is kwin with
any driver for Nvidia. As soon as I changed the window manager to
Openbox ( you can change it in System settings Applications -> Default
Application)  the problem disappeared.  Of course some KDE functionality
is lost.

In addition Plasma 5 crashes in different circumstances, most related to
power management, but these issues are reported in different places and
are not related to kwin, it happens with Openbox as well.
