That's the Gnome Shell's fallback mode, used when you don't have graphics card (or drivers) capable of running hardware-accelerated desktop.

Seems like your driver installation failed, and simply removing the driver doesn't get you back to using the open-source drivers, so at the moment you have no working graphics acceleration. For best results you probably should retry installing the nVidia drivers...

I had the same problem, but with ATI. Install fglrx to see if it would solve my HDMI output problems (it didn't but instead caused screen corruption and made Ubuntu unusable). After uninstall of fglrx, I got unaccelerated Gnome only. I had the radeon driver active but I think Gallium is better for my graphics card. I just upgraded to xorg-edgers (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa). I realize this isn't the proper way to solve this since edgers isn't necessarily but I'd rather just have a working desktop right now.
