Using kdm, nvidia driver, Kubuntu 10.04. Same bug, started appearing
with the 2.6.32-24-generic kernel.

I believe Linus Torvalds himself reports this bug back in 2007
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=323501

It's some race condition that is an artifact of porting X to Linux ages
ago. He says "we are stuck with it."
