syslog output when kmail causes kmail/desktop to hang

System Config, KDE Neon LTS 5.8.7, Nouveau driver 1:1.0.12-2 as described by
Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. Nvidia GeForce GTX570M, kmail 5.5.2.

Kmail will become unresponsive when attempting to scroll or click left on an
email. Sometimes just the controls/buttons in kmail will be unreponsive but
sometimes the whole desktop will become unreponsive and freeze, requiring a
ALT-SYSRq RSEIUB command to reboot system, ALT-F1 not working. If instead I use
the Nvidia 375 driver the problem disappears, so this problem seems to be
related to the use of the Nouveau driver. syslog reports the following errors..

It also generates a second different error on some occasions ie a FIFO read
fault at 0001afa00 engine 00 [PGRAPH] client 01 [GPC1/TEX] reason 02 [Page not
present] on channel 5.

This error tends to hang the entire desktop, hence why I have attached a photo
of the tail -f /var/log/syslog output.

--- Comment #1 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin-FrUbXkNCsVf2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org> ---
It's possible that some of these issues are fixed with newer software, but
ultimately I believe KDE likes to use multiple GL contexts from multiple
threads at the same time, while nouveau does not like it when you do that.

Until KDE started doing it, this was exceedingly rare. I believe they've since
thrown wrenches into their internal logic to disable the threading, not sure.

Thanks for the comment, I'll setup another KDE Neon in virtualbox with the
Nouveau driver, make sure I've still got the problem then wait for the latest
KDE update and see if things have improved.

For my main system (used for work) I need something stable so am using the
Nvidia driver for the time being until things improve. I really like kmail and
have used it for years so don't really want to switch to Thunderbird which I
guess is a possible option for some.
