Bug Description
When apport reports a problem relating to compiz crashing, it prompts me with "It looks like you have installed the nvidia drivers..." and if you accidentally click 'No' (no in this case meaning "no I have not uninstalled them" and not the more logical "no they aren't installed"), it refuses to continue.
It would be more logical if apport checked to see if the nvidia drivers were even loaded first, eg via an "lsmod|grep nvidia".

Did it say "It appears you may have installed the nVidia drivers manually from nvidia.com at some point in the past. This can cause problems with the Ubuntu-supplied drivers"? The X.org package hook does that.
