The nouveau issue is the one to keep bashing at. I believe Ben's been busy with some > non-bug-fix-y work lately, so the pace of bug fixing for nouveau has slowed down, unfortunately. I'm unconvinced that it's a nouveau vs. nvidia driver issue that we're dealing with here but an openbox/lxde/xorg problem but due to the fact that I'm using the proprietary driver nobody will actually look at the issue or try to determine if, in fact, nvidia is the cause or not. I would happily use the nouveau driver (and was using it until going to the 3.8+ kernel where it became virtually unusable with noaccel turned on) but that driver is possibly buggier than the proprietary driver but gets useful updates less often and *no* updates that appear to relate to any of the bugs that I've reported against it for over the last two years.
