Seems NVIDIA is well aware of the issue - and has been for the last month! Sadly there is little sign of any activity from NVIDIA with regard to solving the issue.

Granted, gnome-terminal is not quite as unstable as konsole. But if you fill the gnome-terminal window (e.g. run "ls" on a large directory), then grab the edge of the gnome-terminal window and resize it a bit, then it will start creating some strange artefacts on-screen. If you continue resizing then eventually it will hang. Sometimes you will have to wobble it about a bit. Other times it will hang straight away.
