Well I've been running 5.4.1 for a while now, which I think it has been pushed 
to stable and I have not seen any actual "freeze" at all on this box. 

Nouveau drivers FWIW

I get do the odd crash of plasma (some days it is fine) but I can always 
switch to another virtual desktop and restart plasma. Which is strange to say 
the least.
I have not yet found the trigger of this and Drkonq never shows up when it 
happens. Bit of a weird one.

My only real gripe with P5 now is the amount of RAM it eats over the course of 
a day.. up to almost 5 gig now and hitting swap! (8 gig on this box) uptime ~ 
17 hours. So kquitapp plasmashell resets it nicely. 

Still searching kde.bugs for this one.

Not much help but thought I would share this.
