*** Bug 772177 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
We can't support the problems related to the use of 3rd party software and drivers, like the nvidia binary driver. If you can reproduce this using nouveau (or any other driver shipped by fedora), or can provide any other evidence this is not a driver-related problem, please do re-open.
There's not sufficient data to tell for sure, but I guess this is yet another duplicate of bug #751891.
The problem is linked to nvidia. With nouveau, there is no problem.
