Installing the proprietary driver with patch, everything works normally.
Installing the nvidia-current package, install goes OK, but trying to start kde results in the "login loop" -- the greeter comes up, login, the splash screen starts, then jumps back to the greeter. Note that this does NOT happen with the proprietary patched driver.
1. .Xauthority and .ICEauthority are both owned by the appropriate user.
2. Moving .kde out of the way does not solve the problem -- same behavior.
3. Gnome works normally, compositing in gnome works normally.

Since the proprietary patched driver works normally, and the nvidia-current does not, this suggests there is still some problem with the nvidia-current driver. Sorry, jockey does not work on my system, it just gives a blank screen. So I must use apt-get install nvidia-current. Also I cannot do a "clean" install -- the boot CDs all crash, including alternate cds (separate issue - bug report filed).
