Nvidia driver causes xorg crash

[Aaron Thomas]

this is a duplicate of #973096.

Additionally, it's possibly a new bug entitled "Ubuntu has no useful method for including my crash data on an existing bug other than typing ubuntu-bug at the command line".

I can't tell you how many hundreds of bugs in ubuntu I've never reported because the path for actually reporting them is convoluted, unintuitive, inconvenient, and often impossible (try reporting an intermittent/unreproducable xorg bug that takes down your network and display). It's lots better than everyone else but still leagues from perfect.
