Greetings, just wanted to let you guys know, I solved this problem by doing:
a) sudo nvidia-xconfig <- it should detect the missing "default display/screen" entry and create a new file for you to write in.
then do...
b) sudo nvidia-settings and do the usual thing to save your settings.
That's all I did - it worked.

Subject: [Bug 286424] Re: nvidia-settings crashes when user clicks Save To X Configuration File
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.

nvidia-settings crashes when user clicks Save To X Configuration File https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286424

Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed
Status in “nvidia-settings” source package in Intrepid: Confirmed
Clicking "Save To X Configuration File" causes immediate crash of nvidia-settings, after running sudo nvidia-settings to set up dual monitors using TwinView.
Not sure if this is due to permissions related to the new X config scheme (i.e. no longer using xorg.conf for display config)? I am also confused as to why the repo driver is 177.80, but the repo nvidia-settings is 177.78?
Error msg: nvidia settings crashed with SIGSEGV in g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOID()
