Well, that's good... and bad... :)

Good that is is an isolated problem on my machine, and bad, because
it's my problem now to resolve it.

I guess I'll be reinstalling some things this weekend, and if nothing
solves it, do a fresh install.
The only difference I noticed is that my nvidia driver is still 195.36.15.
Maybe time for an update first.

Thanks for the trouble!
