If you're running "kmod" nvidia drivers then you are not running nouveau.
Nouveau runs out-of-the-box (fresh installation) and has proven to be more
headache-free. I have not noticed this issue. Could this be peculiar to a file?
Can you describe steps to replicate it without transferring a sample file?
I am presently running nouveau with LO without issues on F16 but I probably
haven't gone your route. My experience with "kmod-nvidia" and the sister
"akmod-nvidia" is that they conflict with nouveau especially if nouveau is not
silenced. Did U follow leigh's instructions at forums.fedoraforum.org?

Using Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 base and derivatives (Pinguy and Mint),
both 64 bit, I have not seen this behavior. AFAIK the drivers were/are
ATI Radeon from the repository. The actual drivers were auto-installed
on installation and left unchanged. The desktops include both Gnome 2.?
and Gnome 3.2. It appears that the problem is limited to the NVidia drivers.
