One thing I'd like to add to Jeff's verbage here (are you taking edits 
Jeff? :-):  he omits the section of his XF86Config file that deals with 
Modules.  The README (under /usr/share/docs/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0) notes that you 
have to not only add the new glx module (which appears to be automatic) but 
remove any old modules that were related to your previous driver (the 
README lists particular ones, so don't worry if you don't know what ones 
might be related).  In particular, I had 'Load "dri"' in my Modules section 
and it was causing bizarre things like the desktop icons being invisible, 
menu items not showing up until you moused over them or not at all, etc.

Wasn't a huge problem, not hard to find the right solution, but I figured 
I'd point it out for completeness.

I haven't gotten any further in the instructions, but they have been a 
great help so far in my first build :-)  Thanks Jeff!
