If you are still having a problem, then it only confirms your configs were
updated.  Have you restarted your desktop, you can do that by login out and
loging back in again.

If you are still having problems, is the only problem that you cant run the
nvidia-settings tool?

I am assuming that if the nvidia-settings tool is not running, then you dont
have 3D effects (compiz) on you desktop and cant do any other 3D stuff.

You could try to use one of the earlier config files and logout/in each
time.
