An update: the solution suggested on comment #3 at the link

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/lags-and-freezes-on-ati-rs880-%5Bradeon-hd-4290%5D-with-new-xf86-video-ati-7-8-0-a-4175594206/

did solve the problem for me. I did some more investigation and found
out that what did the trick was forcing the radeon driver to use DRI3.
However, this solution created another problem: when I resize the
window of a GTK application, my desktop goes crazy with all sorts of
weird artifacts, with the windows flashing, etc. Going back to DRI2
solves the problem, but then I go back to the original one, with the
plasma desktop freezing at random times (though I can fix that by
switching to a virtual terminal and then going back to the graphical
desktop). Anybody else still having this problem?

Thank you,

Adriano
