I've been following this bug for quite a while and it is pretty clear that this is *NOT* a permissions problem. I've always run nvidia-settings with gksudo / sudo and the problem was always there. So please don't mark as fixed because of permissions.

I have not tested this with the latest Karmic update but the program did crash when run with root privileges on a then-uptodate Karmic as late as last week.
