Does that tell us?
It tells us that you're using the open-source nv driver for your Nvidia
video card. It's not the proprietary closed-source Nvidia driver.
The closed-source one is the one that can cause unexplained (and
unexplainable) problems, as far as I'm aware.
iow, iiuc, that could have been the problem, but isn't in this case.
Hmm ...
Meanwhile, however, back at the ranch, the problem has not recurred this
afternoon -- not since I gave up my nice pipe display on the screensaver.
Otoh, neither have I yet seen the new one running. (It's behind a KVM
switch, in case that matters, btw.)
If/when it does recur, I'll change again. And report. I delight in
screensavers, and swap them often. Stay tuned.
If it happens again, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and/or
.xsession-errors in your home directory.
