Thanks for all suggestions. It's too bad there is no way to troubleshoot this kind of problem to get some clear idea of what's wrong. Testing different combinations of kernels and GPU drivers is time consuming and inefficient.
In my case, I suspect some updates to Xorg around December messed things up, because I had been running LL since June until the end of last year without any problems using just default Nouveau driver and kernel 3.13.0-24-generic. My latest stable setup is as follows:
kernel 3.13.0-45-generic (latest Xubuntu default)
nvidia 340.76
