Geee, today the problem reoccured, without compiz being installed anymore 
(sorry for the accusation).
Additional observations:
The last messsage printed is about starting the cups deamon, after that the 
screen goes black (changes from text to graphics mode?) and also the harddisk 
rattle completely stops. Ctrl-Alt-Fx or Ctrl-Alt-Backspace has no effect.
I uninstalled the nvidia driver end ended up wioth a totally unstable 
flickering text prompt so I reinstalled the driver again and got back to the 
"black mode".
I then tried "dpkg-reconfigure -p high xserver-xorg" to try to reset the x 
server from the recovery prompt and then it was possible to reboot into 
normal/GUI mode again.
If anybody knows what package that should have the blame, feel free to reassign 
it.
