Seems NVIDIA is well aware of the issue - and has been for the last month! Sadly there is little sign of any activity from NVIDIA with regard to solving the issue.

Finally, it is possible to hang the system with gnome-terminal too! Granted, gnome-terminal is not quite as unstable as konsole. But if you fill the gnome-terminal window (e.g. run "ls" on a large directory), then grab the edge of the gnome-terminal window and resize it a bit, then it will start creating some strange artefacts on-screen. If you continue resizing then eventually it will hang. Sometimes you will have to wobble it about a bit. Other times it will hang straight away.
