Public bug reported: I've reported this already here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics- drivers/+bug/1055634 , however the Apport Retracing Service said I need to file a new bug.
This just happens after today's dist-upgrade -- the Nvidia Settings app crashes when clicking on topics inside the GUI window. This is a regression, as it worked just fine earlier today. Specifically, it crashes the nvidia-settings app whenever I am clicking on "nvidia-settings Configuration" and "OpenGL/GLX Information". All other entries behave normally and don't cause a crash. Also, whenever I click on nvidia-settings > "OpenGL/GLX Information", the window manager crashes as well (i.e., windows have no window border anymore).
