Unfortunately, my GeForce 9500M GS card on my laptop is too old to even have
any options for GLVND for the latest driver available for it, v. 340.  I'm
stuck with this bug.  Other than this issue with konsole, KDE Plasma 5 was
exceptionally snappy.  It put Windows Vista to shame.  I'm saddened that I seem
to have no workaround for this issue.  The new 364 driver does not support my
card.  I could go back to the nouveau driver, but then I can't play some of my
old video games.    

I could stop using konsole and switch to Gnome terminal or something else, but
I like konsole's customization options for theming.  Also, I am worried that I
will eventually run into this issue again with a different KDE application and
not even realize that my CPU is burning up until it's too late.  The only
reason I caught this was that I was monitoring resource usage after a fresh
install of Kubuntu 16.04.

So, no, this issue is not resolved for me.  I'd like to stick with konsole if I
can, and truly have a fix that works for my graphics card and will work for
other applications that could have the same underlying problem.

Please consider reopening this issue.  It would be nice to find a workaround on
the KDE side of things.
