Today, (some of) the nvidia related things were upgraded to 375.26
(see below the details).
However, nvidia-settings is still the Dec 2016 (not working) version:
nvidia-settings --version
nvidia-settings:  version 367.57  (buildd at debian)  Sun Dec 18 10:23:08
UTC 2016

The library libnvidia-gtk3.so has also not been upgraded :
it is still /usr/lib/libnvidia-gtk3.so.367.57
which as I understand does not have the symbols that nvidia-settings
needs.


Details of upgrade to 375.26:
