It appears to be resolved. I went and updated my Kubuntu with the KDE 3.5.3, and then had to reboot because when I C-A-B killed X11 (to be sure KDM was reloaded), it wouldn't come back. I guess whatever part of the dist upgrade step I did required the reboot, because the existing kernel nvidia driver couldn't be removed (it was in use, of course, since I had my GUI up!), but was fixed with a reboot.
Perhaps there should be a way to indicate that a reboot is required.
