Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release:        10.04

This is actually Kubuntu.

Using the default Nouveau driver in Lucid, I used the KDE
Advanced/Special Applications Settings dialogue in Konsole (right click
if you're right-handed over the Menu icon in the top left corner) to set
the default Size (Apply Initially) to 590,688 pixels on my 1680x1050
pixel display. This gave me a character size in Konsole of 80 wide by 40
high.

After installing "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current)
[Recommended]", the same setting gave a Konsole height of 43 rows. To
revert to 40 rows, I had to set 590,644 pixels in KDE.

Of course, this doesn't necessarily point to a bug in Nouveau. Maybe
there's a bug in the proprietary driver, or maybe in both. They are
inconsistent with each other, though.
