Exact same problem here : Ubuntu 11.04 unity, Graphics card GeForce 8400 GS, nvidia-driver-173

By accident, I found that by running NVIDIA Xserver setting, right click on the NVIDIA icon on unity menu bar, and mark it as "Always show" is enough to have the same effect as running the same program from system setting. This is only a workround, but in effect, I can watch videos immediately after login without running the xserver setting thing.

Hope this helps.
