Not too many people, since the relevant bug¹ has so far "only" 13
duplicates. ;-)

Get xserver 1.10 from snapshot.debian.org, try a patch against 1.11.1
from the nvidia forum², or use nouveau (you probably want to install the
libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental package in the latter case).
I didn't have a lot of luck with nouveau the last time I tried it, a year ago. I couldn't get compiz+kde4 (my preferred work enviornment) running on it. Admittedly, that was a year ago, but I haven't encountered any problems until now with the nvidia driver.
I tried rolling back on the desktop (but didn't pin it), and that led to all sorts of problems with apticron.
I'll play around with it and see what happens.
