Hi Paul,
Yes, it was driver bug!
Apparently there is a known Nvidia - Ubuntu 12.04/12.10 problem.
Installing a new Nvidia driver (not the one shipped with Ubuntu, because
that one REALLY messed things up ...) solved the problem! With the
Nuoveau driver I had next to the 'font-colour-coot' also a
'jumpy-pymol-window' issue...
So everything fine with Coot :-)
Best Sabine
