It seems that this bug is fixed in Maveric, at least for 173 drivers
(173.14.27). I tested 173 and user switching works fine now. According
to the changelog the fix is also applied to 96.
There is no problem with installing 173.14.27 on Lucid:
1. download the packages by hand:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-173/nvidia-173-kernel-source_173.14.27-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/restricted/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-173/nvidia-173_173.14.27-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-173/nvidia-173-modaliases_173.14.27-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
to /tmp
2. cd /tmp
3. dpkg -i nvidia*deb
and voila.
I think that it should be backported to lucid ASAP.
