So part of the problem are bugs in the nvidia drivers?

Yes. Sid.

Actually I use PyQt snapshot from 0517, as I just saw. And I'm not using
debian packages.

Well, the only thing that might not be threaded is Qt itself, but this
is rather uncommon, because you'll get libqt3-mt with PyQt from debian.
And the same for Qwt. So if the problem really is threading, then it's
in your own program.

Install the qt-examples package and have a look at them. There are some
example that show you how to use threads, IIRC the mandelbrot example
show multithreaded GUI with a worker thread in the background and the
GUI thread.

One important thing to always remember that in Qt it is not possible to
do any GUI actions in the non-GUI thread and you also cannot connect
signals/slots between different threads. You always have to use events.
