In my last response I had overlooked Sven's comment about having updated the
wiki. I have now looked at the updated wiki and the suggested new xorg.conf
file did the trick -- verbatim even, and I'm now using the NV driver. More
precisely, I blacklisted nouveau in a blacklist-nouveau.c
I first tried blacklisting nouveau by issuing the following command:
echo blacklist nouveau > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
...this was per the instructions
here: http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting#Disabling_KMS
Next, I did as Sven guessed and un-blacklisted nvidiafb by commenting

I downloaded a pristine copy of the 2.2.17 source and recompiled. No more
problems. The 2.2.16 kernel I patched also had the win4lin patch
applied. I don't see how that could have created the problem, but I
need to explore this further. Thanks

Hi,
look into ~/.xsession-errors if you use xdm, or, if you use
startx, look for errors in the log file (assuming you start startx
like startx >& //tmp/startx.log).
Sounds like your window manager is dying. I got that when I
messed up the configuration for fvwm2 once.

You are right, I commented out the FontPath lines in XF86Config,
but I am running xfs. Shouldn't that provide all the fonts?
