With 8.10 and 2.6.27-9, I still had this issue. I tried to move from 177
(which worked okay, but showed artifacts on titlebars in windows, a
known bug, upstream) to 173 (which too seemed to have the titlebar
issue, about which I found out later), it wouldn't work right.

I had to remove my kernel-headers (also removed and reinstalled build-
essential and it's deps, dunno tho if that's an issue), it worked fine
to build 177 after that.

However, the best solution I see was to use the newest drivers and
kernel (-10) from intrepid-proposed. It seems they are patched, and now
everything works perfectly - I've successfully migrated from 177 to 173
and from 173 to 96 (which has not the nasty titlebar bug), using only
the Proprietary driver properties gtk2 manager from
System->Administration.

Great job, if you have issues with this, try it out!
