Was released some days ago by upstream:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=126937

Release Highlights:

    * Fixed a problem that caused nvidia-installer to remove Compiz's libglx.so.
    * Added "nvidia-uninstall" as a shortcut for "nvidia-installer --uninstall".
    * Fixed a bug that caused corrupt window decorations in Compiz.
    * Fixed corruption in KDE 4 when OpenOffice is launched.
    * Fixed a problem that prevented X from starting on 2.6.29-rc1 with an error like the following:

          X:6500 map pfn expected mapping type write-combining for d0000000-d0500000, got uncached-minus

    * Added the ability to run distribution provided pre- and post- installation hooks to 'nvidia-installer'; please see the 'nvidia-installer' manual page for details.

Thanks :-)

Reproducible: Always
