OK, the solution was to add myself to the video user group in /etc/group
- login is being handled by LDAP server. To be honest, if I'd bothered
to read the NVidia support pages properly, I would have seen that this
was a required step for GL applications to work properly.

However, even with this step - 3Ddiag still thinks that my drivers
aren't installed properly. What's that all about?

Best wishes,

Jon.
