I manually installed the latest nvidia driver from their site and got an
error that the kernel module was mismatched with the nvidia driver
version.  My display manger wouldn't even start until I purged and
reinstalled the problematic version of nvidia again.  See
http://askubuntu.com/questions/37590/nvidia-drivers-not-working-after-
upgrade-why-can-i-only-see-terminal.

I don't know how you guys are doing it without all sorts of
complications arising.  It broke my system and now I am back to the
offending version again.  Now I'm scared to resize windows.  This bug
has been up for 5 months.  Why hasn't the new driver been officially
passed through to the official repositories?

Doing unofficial things break your system.  Especially if you are not an
expert and there is a lack of official guidance on issues like this.  I
have to trawl through forums and I don't feel comfortable having to
perform changes that could break my system.  I don't mind Debian being
like this because they don't have any pretenses of being user friendly,
but I expected more from Kubuntu.  :(
