I think I saw this bug as well, it seems to be a mismatch between 180.37 and 180.44 versions of the driver... I solved it by removing all nvidia packages and then reinstalling (from cli, to where I was dropped after reboot).

I've posted a new version of the -nvidia driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it
resolves this bug?

Get nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 - 185.18.14 here:
