The fact that gnome-panel disappears is something I can't reproduce and maybe is some residue of #255461. Maybe removing some Gnome hidden directory/files can help.
When a new driver is installed, Network manager says that it disconnected and then reconnected to the Internet and the login sound plays. I have noticed that when this happens (i.e. when DKMS modprobes the nvidia module) udev uses something like 80% of the CPU (according to top).
