I think that is part of the Karmic buggabo.  I have had to reinstall the 
nVidia proprietary driver
and -15 kernel many times to stop an infernal low res issue on startup 
and it only helps for the
first reboot.  All this started for me when the last kernel, the -15 
one, was upgraded which also
had new nVidia proprietary drivers included.  Prior to that upgrade, I 
was one of the few Karmic
fresh install users that had zilch X window issues.   I now also have 
the sound issue(none) using
the 64 bit flashplugin.  Things keep getting worse instead of better.  
Am looking forward to the next
kernel or nVidia upgrade hoping for a fix.  I'll probably take the other 
guys suggestion and install
the 190 nvidia driver before that happens.
