I did that.  I reinstalled (apt-get install) after deinstalling
(apt-get autoremove --purge) for each step that I listed in my
original message.  And then, for good measure, I downloaded
an older (1 yo) nvidia release from their website and built
it myself and then installed that.

And then I reinstalled a 2.6.32-5 kernel and repeated all the
install/uninstall steps.

This took a bit of time...

Thanks,
Russell
