http://<email address hidden>
As suggested in the thread, I removed all video drivers, and compiz with the "Remove completely" option in Synaptic. I then rebooted, and used a repair login to install xserver-
Another clue may be that ubuntu-bug insists on reporting this as an nvidia bug, when I don't even have the nv or nouveau drivers installed!
