Unfortunately your experience is not uncommon.

Suggest you post it to the  kde at lists.fedoraproject.org list for better help as far as potential trouble shooting.

My most recent experience with "freeze" is not a solid one.  The screen is frozen but I can still move the mouse around.  Also, if there is a video playing it will freeze but the audio will continue on.  I can get out of it by logging in from a terminal and doing a "killall -u myusername" which gets me back to the login screen.

I think "kwin" is the most likely suspect and have upgraded to kwin-5.4.0-4 from updates testing as the changelog included this nugget which gave me hope....

* Tue Aug 25 2015 Daniel Vrátil <dvratil at redhat.com> - 5.4.0-2
- add upstream patch to fix crash
- make sure kwayland-integration is installed for kwin-wayland

But no...  Still have issues.
