all these posts like "is this problem or that problem fixed" - why not check the comments in the bug reports you posted to see if anything has been updated?

Sorry to hear :-( We are not aware of any crashers when going to Steam fullscreen videos. Is the crash reported? Anything I can look into?

Thx for the reply, Martin.
Not yet, had no time lately, so I had to switch DE.
Hopefully I got some time on the weekend to reproduce and submit a bug report.

I'm staying on KDE4 for quite a while yet on the main DT machine, I well remember the KDE 3 to 4 transition and how long that took to become reasonably stable. I do like KDE 5 and am running suse TW on a test machine, keep up the good work and hopefully Nvidia see the error of their ways and reach a reasonable compromise.

using kubuntu 16.04 with backports (so plasma 5.6.5) on r9 290 with padoka, never had this issue.
PC is up for about 8h now with use of widgets, menue, krunner and all, plasmashell uses 175mb.

Well, that's good to hear; that means somewhere is available a software combination that mitigates the problem.
However it is difficult to say since kubuntu doesn't 100% uses upstream code. (if i'm not wrong, contrary to arch, they do patch upstream).
Anyway, i'm testing that on qt 5.7.0 + kde 5.7.0

Since new plasma and new gnome will be released almost at same time. It would be nice to do a comparison between both

Ok, finally found some minutes to search for a reproducible way to force the crash and opened a bug for it. Let's hope we can sort it out ;-)

Honestly the experience has been better for me lately. Kde used to randmize my desktops and layouts every time i booted and at least that got fixed.

Same here. Plasma 5.7 / Fedora 24. (Minus startup, which sometimes break plasma configuration, forcing me to reload the plasma configuration from backup).
2K 27" + 1K 24".

May depend on kactivities that crashes on logout.
If you see it segfaults in dmesg, try to kill it before logout.
I don't use activities, so i kill it at login
