    2010-08-17 updates broke video?

    Since rebooting after the double updates on 2010-08-17(+10GMT) My graphics performance is abysmal, and it seems transparency on conky is now broken.
    I noticed it first after i entered my pass and saw that the 'kubuntu & dots' login screen was very slow, about half normal duration and seemed very sluggish.
    Then I watched as the various windows which appear after login were noticeably sluggish, especially any alpha fading - i log into a new session every time BTW, but conky, skype, and gksu firestarter windows open, so it's always the same.

    Has anybody else noticed this?

    A clear indicator something is wrong: In the attached image conky should be *transparent*.
    Also, when I screenshot a selected window with Shutter, normally it would shade the window in cyan to indicate which window is selected... this doesnt happen now.

    I am using nvidia driver 256.44 since 2010-08-06

    Yes, the update broke various aspects of my video.
    Got latest Nvidia driver direct from them and all works fine now
