FYI

- installed kubuntu 10.10 from scratch on the same notebook
- Used Jockey to activate the nvidia-173 driver.
- (Got a few delays and strange messages along the way, but...)
- found that nvidia 173 works fine.

The problem is therefore most likely to be an incompatibility or a
setting that does not exist in a vanilla 10.10 environment.

For everybody who is experiencing this bug I suggest a full set of
backups and a fresh installation is less time consuming than tinkering
with the 173 driver. Nouveau (from the beta PPA's) has improved
considerably over the past few weeks - it's really not bad at all - but
I missed some of the advanced 3d desktop effects. They're surprisingly
helpful.
