Subject: 4.11.0-rc8+/x86_64 desktop lockup until applications closed


I came home yesterday to discover my desktop KDE/plasma session locked 
up until I could shutdown firefox and chromium from a console login.

The desktop then became responsive and I could then restart firefox and 
chromium.

the 4GiB swap space was nearly full, but the OOM killer apparently 
didn't run.

dmesg showed:
