I have this exact same problem on my Ubuntu 32 bit, upgraded from Jaunty, never had Karmic alpha/beta installed. Nvidia card running in TwinView mode using the latest 190.42 driver manually installed. Nvidia card 9500GT. Problem is exactly like the YouTube video link. When I run "sudo -u gdm xsplash" it looks the same way as during boot up. xsplash 0.8.5 from Karmic updates repo is installed.
