Maybe not so interesting. I'm confusing issues. The OP's problem was 
with the nvidia driver - which also had caused me problems. Reverting to 
the 173 driver helped with my display problems but then the mouse began 
acting up.

  Then I found the  Xorg log with line about "requesting unpleasantly 
large amount of memory" and the bug report mentioning nvidia drivers. In 
a search about the proprietary drivers I found the link at the Ubuntu 
forums.
In any case the problem is not happening yet and all I did was install 
kernel headers.
Go figure.
