damn, sorry!  Was away and did not see this.  And it'll be some 2
weeks before I come back home so as to test it.

In the mean time, I simply removed the nvidia-package and gone with
the nv driver.  Had to quit Blendering because of the issue, but even
without it the issue would still show up.

As soon as I get back, I'll try to test it.

After installing the proprietary video drivers from any source (restricted-drivers-manager, envy, automatix - yes, i know, it was a last-ditch effort, and the driver from the nvidia site) GNOME will almost load all the way and then completely freeze my system (ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't even work).  It freezes as it loads the clock and other toolbar applets.  I have tried fresh installs using all of the methods described above, to no avail.  I tried on a fresh install of kubuntu, to no avail.  I tried on Gutsy Beta (today is 9/29/2007) to no avail.  I am not sure where the bug exists, but it seems to be in either the driver itself or in ubuntu.  I tried the relevant steps described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#troubleshooting but none of them worked.  I can and have reproduced the bug.
