After doing additional research I discover that the problem was NOT the nvidia driver. Shame on me for putting my guess as to the reason for the breakage in the bug title. Please change the title of this bug or reject it and I'll open a new one.

The real problem was that one of the files in my launcher directory was a desktop shortcut without an associated icon or pixmap. (Ironically, the desktop file was for nvidia-settings which has move its pixmap in the beta driver).

It's still a problem with the stacks as I believe the lack of an associated launcher icon should not cause it to fail.
