After applying 2015 April patches "could not apply the stored configuration for monitors" Ubuntu 14.04LTS

[Bryce Nesbitt]

After applying routine security updates (April 2015), my system reports "could not apply the stored configuration for monitors"
after logging in. The video mode is slightly wrong before login, and I end up at a colorful but empty screen after login. I cannot go any farther with the graphical login.

I can CTRL-ALT-F1 to a console.
Killing X repeats the procedure above.
The graphics card is a GF108/GT 430 according to lspci.
 Ubuntu 14.04LTS
