Is this a known issue with powermacs?

The gem0 interface has a tendency to become unstable under heavy load.  
Rebooting alleviates it.

Launching keepassxc (buildable thanks to Mark M's qt5-core patch) from a 
remote display seems to be a reliable trigger.

This machine has some visible physical damage, so I wouldn't be 
surprised if it's a local hardware issue.  It's reliable otherwise, though.
