Spoke too soon.
Tried hibernating (worked) and resuming (crashed). Did a hard reboot and 
behaviour is back to where it was; 'nomodeset' when booting else vertical lines 
y nada mas.

Steve, the good news is that Plymouth now works OK for me even when booting 
with 'nomodeset'.
- 2 messages about fsck
- a purple screen in text-mode with Ubuntu showing, no coloured horizontal bar 
at the bottom
- a message about urearahead exiting with status 4, looking a bit messy like 
the ones that broke up the blue/white bar
- X kicks in and I'm looking at a normal login screen.

I do hate it when errors come and go at -seemingly- random moments.
There must be a way to reliably reproduce this.

cheers Tom
