Thanks to Julian for setting up trying to do a backport to an earlier NVIDIA driver using Debian packages. I haven't tried that yet but I hope to do so next week. In the interim I tried cleaning out all the nvidia and related packages and installing from the NVIDIA distribution file. I tried 290.10. It seemed to install correctly. On reboot GDM3 starts fine. Logging in to GNOME 3 fails, I just get the "Oh no" page. Logging in with GNOME 2 works fine. I then put back all the 295.33 package including the "remove the NVIDIA installer" package. Exactly the same behaviour. This would seem to imply a problem with GNOME 3. Whether there is still a problem with spontaneous X terminations I now cannot tell as I cannot actually use the systems at all now :-((
