Reproducing The Issue:

- first of all I  moved the custom xorg.conf and rebooted using the
already installed 177 driver.

- Downgraded to nvidia-graphics-driver-173. The Hardware Driver Applet
notifies that there is any active driver, and upon selecting the "173"
relase, it asks me to reboot. Rebooting with the nvidia-graphics-
driver-173 shows no issue.

- Using synaptic I install the "177".Unfortunately this time it does not
appear on the automatic update process and it does not crashes directly
the desktop. It doesn't even warns me about rebooting the hardware.
Instead of rebooting , I just log out from GNOME. Instead of starting
GDM, the screen flickers and starts the screen configuration rescue
utility.

- Instead of following the recover process, I just reboot the computer.
The nvidia driver is then started without any problem. The driver in use
is 177.82 of course.

-The very same problems is shown  upgrading to nvidia-graphics-
driver-180, and it does not even show up in the "Hardware Driver"
Utility.
