The crashes happened with version 2:1.11.0-1 of the X server and
280.13.really.275.28-1 of nvidia. I downgraded to 2:1.10.4-1 and
280.13-1 of the respective packages and now things are back to normal.

Yes, that sounds exactly like what I was experiencing.

I did that now. (Running now 280.13.really.275.28-1 with 2:1.10.4-1)
Works, i.e., no rendering issues and no crashes. .. Yet, haha. :)
