Hmm.. Tried both, and I couldn't see any problem

That said, I just switched to the open-source nvidia drivers to see if
that would help, and I haven't seen any X terminal problems here yet, so
perhaps the open-source drivers don't have the problem?
Switching from proprietary to open-source nvidia drivers shouldn't be
considered a fix the problem though, since some might require the extra
features of the proprietary ones.
Besides, it can't really be solely the fault of the driver since people
with Intel graphics chips have the same problem?
