Well, all I'm really interested in is finding out whether it's xorg-server or xf86-video-nv which is broken. Then raise a bug, and get it fixed :-)
I just add here that I had a similar issue, which I *thought* I was able to track down to a broken gtk2 package. And since I use xfce4 stuff segfaulted when I tried to bring up X. I the used openbox (which uses pango but not gt2) and that was fine until I tried packages that depend on gtk2 -> segfaults again. I rebuild gtk2, pacman -U <gtk-package> and it worked. However, a day later I pacman -U <downloaded, supposedly bad package from package cache> and all still worked. I opened a bug, but sinmce I can't reproduce it I dunno really what happened. Istill think though that something in the xorg,gtk2 and companions update was borked, I have no idea what though, but I think it's unrelated to graphic drivers. -T
