When i'm using the "nvidia" driver, the splash screen hangs at "window manager"
for a couple minutes, then starts up without any window manager at all.  Trying
to start metacity from a terminal reveals this: 

Gdk-ERROR **: unable to find a usable depth
aborting...

Using the nv driver makes everything work perfectly..  This is with nvidia-glx
1.0.7667-0ubuntu7, btw.
