Restricted drivers manager broke xorg.conf

Bug Description

Binary package hint: jockey-kde

Kubuntu-KDE4 8.04 Beta 1.
nvidia-glx
GeForce 4 MX 440

Using the restricted drivers manager to select proprietary nvidia drivers broke my xorg.conf. It wrote:
Option AddARGBGLXVisuals True
to the Screen section where it should have written:
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
to the aforementioned section. This caused X to fail to start.
Adding the quotes fixed the problem, and it a viable workaround.
