Subject: nvidia-kernel-source: Artifacts with 260.19.44 driver
Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 260.19.44-1
Severity: normal

The recent upgrade to nvidia driver 260.19.44 resulted in lots of
artifacts on my Gnome Desktop.

For example:
Look the reflected result of iceweasel icon.

Watch the colour and strange shape of the typography

My card is a pretty standard 9500GT.
Thanks.

PS: It happens w/ and w/o compiz running
