Details

Whenever you run GL apps nvidia complains about permissions.

The fix is to edit /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions

and comment (#) the nvidia line

Then chmod 666 /dev/nvidia*

Easy to fix, but severity=medium because no GL app will run until you do this (maybe it should be set even higher)
This task depends upon

i would suggest that you put your user to group video

I just did an install yesterday of Xorg and the NVidia drivers. I found that there wasn't a video group to begin with so I had to create one before I could add the user to group video.

We can close this, no "bug" here.
