I was having the same problem with a Nvidia 6200 and after upgrading to 0.12 (from 0.11) I was still getting the same error message.

From the command line I then ran:

buckett@desktop:~$ sudo restricted-manager -c
buckett@desktop:~$ sudo restricted-manager -u

and then the restricted manager ran fine. I'm not sure you need to run both of these command but they seemed to fix it. Should one or both of these commands been in the upgrade scripts for the package?

Enabled: You have requested to use this driver for your system.
In Use: Your system is currently using this driver.

Because some of the drivers require bits of software to be restarted they sometimes cannot be used straight away, hence the reason for the two boxes. A help box or mouseover might be good for this?
