The new driver really seems to have a major problem. I figured out that
you just need an image with 2047px width to screw up the driver.
ATTENTION: This can crash your X server and corrupt memory!
Example: [1], an otherwise harmless picture. Every picture with the same
width will work, too. I could trigger the bug at least with Firefox,
Midori, Epiphany and EOG. It looks like some applications like Chromium
alter the size, so they don't trigger it.

I can confirm crash of Xorg with Firefox 4 on Nvidia GT218 with 275.09.7
drivers. Epiphany displays weird artefacts, but does not crash.
Opera and Chrome are OK. Looks like only Gecko has these problems.
I don't think so. Epiphany is based on WebKit these days. And because I
can trigger the bug in EOG (Eye of GNOME) it doesn't look like a browser
problem for me at all.
Perhaps it is a problem of GTK together with nvidia 275.09.07. I tried
feh (a simple X11 image viewer that doesn't use GTK or Qt) and it works
fine without flickering, artifacts or something else strange.
