That's a pity. The stacktrace does not include any symbols that
definitivly point to nvidia-glx. Did you try different Xorg driver, e.g. nv?

Could someone with a similar 96xx setup try to reproduce the problem?

I just saw the following in one of the bugs you referenced in the
original report:

    From: Pietro Battiston <me at pietrobattiston.it>

    Samuel, do you have libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2-dev installed?

    I get a very similar backtrace to yours on my (64 bit) system, but
    the problem disappears if I install that package.

Could you try this? The corresponding bug is marked as fixed-in-vcs, so
that will get fixed with the next upload of python-visual. Could this
fix your problem, too?
