glib produces lots of errors on fresh 11.10 install

I have just freshly installed 11.10 64bit on my 3Ghz dual core machine with graphic card nvidia 9600gt and 290.10 driver.

The desktop crashes or will be not redraw correctly. It's very unstable when using Skype or log file viewer and other applications. I get massive error outputs in xsession-error log related to gdk or glib.

I was previously using Ubuntu 10.04 64bit for a long time without any problems; I was also using the same graphic driver without any problems and compiz was running successfully.

This is an example of the error output from just a few minutes using desktop after reboot:xsession-errors log
Is it possible to fix it?

Also CPU usage is so much higher than before. What if I want to start 3d rendering or use my other CPU intensive applications? How should I configure it? Now I have just Skype and Google Chrome and log viewer running and the CPU usage is at 50%.

Update: I did another fresh installation. This time I didn't take the newest nvidia driver, but the one from the repository 280.13. CPU values seams to be normal now, but I still received xsession-errors:link.

My system is 2 minutes old (up-to-date), no ppa in the packadge management. Absolutly clean. I am running just Firefox + log viewer. For the record, this was the 7th installation of this system. Why am I not able to install and get it to a normal state?

My graphic card is supported. I was running this card on the newest driver already and made fantastic 3d renderings on it. What else can I do? Take another distro? Is it possible to fix this problem? I don't want to give up ubuntu. It has been my favorite operating for a long time.

My graphic driver is not loaded:enter link description here Why?

I solved my problem this way:

I made a fresh install of Ubuntu

after the system update, I did not install a proprietary graphic driver from the repos, I left just the one which is open source: 173.* -- which Ubuntu installs automatically.

I enabled proposed (pre-released) updates in synaptic and added this ppa to the repository: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu

then I executed sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

reboot

The problem with other instructions was that the newest kernel 3.0.0.16 didn't work with the 280.10 nvidia driver on my computer and I got a mismatched API or the machine didn't boot or I had a massive list of errors in xsession-erros log and CPU disaster.

The glib errors still appear in the logs, but not as much as before. The computer runs wonderfully, very fast and stable now. Some of the errors will be gone after installation of some packets and a little bit of tuning here and there. The rest is just not important I guess.

(Something must be done to kernel updates + Nvidia updates)
