(Get the code!)
I hope nVidia gets on the ball and releases a new driver in time for everyone to test before Gutsy final (now that it has been voted that Compiz will be enabled by default). If they don't, I think Gutsy will end up looking very unstable to users unfamiliar with the underlying causes.
I have this problem on my 7600GT-based system and it's getting annoying to switch window managers every time I want to run an OpenGL app. I do *not* hope the 'buntu maintainers build Xorg without patch 132 as a workaround though, as that completely removes all incentive for nVidia to fix the real problem.
In answer to Sitsofe's ABI observation, I would think that nVidia would simply put an item in the release notes indicating that the newer driver is only for Xorg (insert version # / patch level here) and later. It would be up to the repackagers to set dependencies for each version to their related Xorg packages.
