Thanks - one more thing: on a reboot (yes, I should have checked this
before filing an all-clear!) X didn't start but was fixed by
`update-glx` (changing from 0 to 2):

  $ sudo update-glx --config nvidia
  There are 2 choices for the alternative nvidia (providing /usr/lib/nvidia/nvidia).

    Selection    Path                          Priority   Status
  ------------------------------------------------------------
    0            /usr/lib/nvidia/current        384       auto mode
    1            /usr/lib/nvidia/current        384       manual mode
  * 2            /usr/lib/nvidia/legacy-340xx   340       manual mode

/usr/lib/nvidia/current is an empty directory.
