I can also confirm that using the 275.09.04 drivers package from the
"philip5 ppa" resolved the various issues for me too. In fact it seems
to work remarkably well. No more nasty screen artefacts, no more random
crashes from gnome-terminal or gedit. Whilst I still maintain that
NVIDIA was very slow to investigate the issue, once it actually started
addressing the issue, it has resolved it commendably quickly.

As a side issue, I was interested to note that Philip Johnnson describes
his personal package archive as a "Ubuntu experimental rolling release
repository." By adding his PPA to one's repository list means that one
receives updated versions of many other applications. I'm very
interested to see how that pans out because I have found the concept of
a "rolling version" rather intriguing.

If a rolling edition of (K)Ubuntu eventually comes to pass, then will it
mark the end of rushed, untested versions of (K)Ubuntu, banged out
quick, with serious bugs such as this, just in order to meet artificial
deadlines? Or will it lumber users with more bugs not fewer?
Interesting...
