when the Desktop is unlocked over night there is no freeze. Some Discussion
about this describe problems with Fullscreen Application like Libreoffice, this
would match with my research.

Im Using Neptune Linux - Debian with KDE Plasma and i have the Problem with
Kernel 4.4.13 to 4.4.20.

Linux druuhl 4.4.20 #8 SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 8 10:25:38 CEST 2016 x86_64
