nvidia-glx recommends a nvidia specific kernel and aptitude/apt-get

installed?

what backported kernel? stock one or nvidia-specific?

Anyway you should not need it because to install nvidia-glx (either
stable or backports) will automatically install a nvidia specific
kernel (which you have to chose at boot in the grub menu (after an
update-grub) if you have several kernels and if it is not the default
one)

I don't think so. Probably to install properly nvidia-glx and chose the
right kernel at boot should do it.

I still would suggest you to run 
 # update-initramfs -u -k all
in order to update the initrd images of all installed kernels
