I would imagine that my problem is related here: the OpenGL screensaver
BlinkBox has, on numerous occasions, appeared to cause Compiz to freak
out and die after a period of usage (ie, not immediately when the
screensaver starts up, but after a while, when I come back to my
machine, it appears to be locked up). Sometimes I can get my machine
back into a decent state by turning off compiz and turning it back on
again. Sometimes X is so unresponsive that I have to restart gdm. Once,
the whole machine appeared to be completely locked up and I had to
reboot.

I didn't have this issue with Jaunty -- but it may be related rather to
the drivers? I've noticed some people having issues with the nvidia 185
drivers (and we can't install the previously working 180 drivers because
it's just a dummy package ):  ).

I'm about to try installing the 173 drivers to see if that fixes the
problem. Alternatively, I'll try the nvidia ppa with the latest beta
drivers (at my own risk, of course (:  )
