This won't be directly helpful to you, but I thought I'd comment just in 
the hope of providing a little context.

I run testing on several machines with Nvidia video cards and have not 
seen this issue on any of them. However, I'm using the nouveau driver, 
and my DE is Xfce 4.6.2, two points of departure from your system.
