Sorry for not attaching my logs initially.

When using Ubuntu Karmic Koala, I never used any driver installed either
from a ppa, nor one installed directly from nvidia binaries either. I
used the one coming from the Ubuntu repositories and never had any
problems with it. Maybe the md5 check sums of /usr/lib/libGL.so* and
/usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so* help verifying this:

b7accaea11f60fd1105d8c34b1e77ec0  /usr/lib/libGL.so
b7accaea11f60fd1105d8c34b1e77ec0  /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
b7accaea11f60fd1105d8c34b1e77ec0  /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2

40ac933ee69fd016fc1726040f0a404c  /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so
40ac933ee69fd016fc1726040f0a404c  /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.1
40ac933ee69fd016fc1726040f0a404c  /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.195.36.15

Running sudo ldconfig didn't solve my problem either.

When running ldconfig -p | grep -i libGL.so , it says the following:
libGL.so.1 (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.4.20) => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
libGL.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so.1
libGL.so (libc6, OS ABI: Linux 2.4.20) => /usr/lib/libGL.so
libGL.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/nvidia-current/libGL.so

The above mentioned mailing list entry refers to a problem I think is
similar to mine and they trace the problem back to the ABI tag. The
author especially surmises that "The ABI tag breaks the sort order with
the library that doesn't have such a tag". Maybe this relates to my
problem in that the libGL.so.1 entry in nvidia-current doesn't have such
a tag and thus the mesa library is preferred.
