Quick fix, force install all your 'nvidia' and 'glx' installed packages 
back to 'Jessie-backports' and then 'lock-them' works, maybe 20-24 
packages that you will be locking, varies a little with my installs, 
some I had not upgraded and I only had to lock the packages.  I used 
synaptic while in xfce4 and all your kde apps work from xfce4 too as a 
side note.  Note no problem with upgrades and those files being locked, 
at this time anyways. hehe

There's a lot noise out there about fix's, I found nothing works for me. 
  I came up with this fix and it works.  While gtk works with the 
upgrade, plasma don't, it's a problem with plasma, you can't blame 
nvidia and say they are not doing their part, this is a problem debian 
plasma, I'm sure they are working on it. Seems to affect only 
'legacy-304' and could be a simple code error.

With the Debian-nvidia driver: Plasma is unable to start as it could not 
correctly use OpenGL2.  Note dialog is working, sound is working, no plasma.

With the Debian-free driver, computer freeze with colorful squiggly 
lines and I have to push the power button and repair the file system.

David, do you have a better fix than down-grading the packages?  And I 
may not need to down grade as many packages as I do, but it works.
