The cause of the problem seems to be that when Natty updates the kernel, for 
some reason, it does install
linux-headers-2.6.38-xx
linux-headers-2.6.38-xx-generic

but does NOT install 
linux-headers-2.6.38-xx-generic-pae.

As a result, it can't rebuild the nvidia-current drivers for the new pae kernel.
And the next boot results in no X.org...

Manually installing 
linux-headers-2.6.38-xx-generic-pae
then removing and installing again nvidia-current properly rebuilds the nvidia 
driver.
