To all those who could hardly await a fix: Since it is closed source
driver, this issue has to be resolved upstream. So far, Nvidia has not
provided an update, although (according to Aaron Plattner) they are
working on it [1]. Just downgrading isn't always preferable, either.
Last update was supposed to fix a security problem so you will leave
your system vulnerable by rolling back to an earlier version. Waiting
for upstream seems to be the only reasonable choice.

You have several options, though:
* temporarily(?) switch to nouveau
* use a non-composited desktop (some apps will fail but you can login)
* replace the card (304 driver series is going to be discontinued anyway)
