unwanted removal of nvidia

[Bob de Diego]

nvidia-settings is already installed once you install the glx package, no
need for further installation of the nvidia-settings package.
To launch the nvidia-settings thingy you need to open a konsole and type
sudo nvidia-settings, it will prompt you for ur password type it and you are
good to go
