Ran into the same problem. Stability returned when I got rid of xscreensaver-gl-extras. I had the same result with both the Nvidia binary driver and the nv x.org driver. I didn't try the gss packages but you could pull everything EXCEPT the standard xscreensaver package and then add the others back in one at a time to see if any of them destabilize the system. At least on my box X crashing took the keyboard with it so I could only recover by sshing in and rebooting.
Too bad. Some nice eye-candy in the 3d stuff.
Cheers,
Dave
