Thanks for replying to all.
Just wanted to make sure you were using the icon, and not something from
the command line. It is running it via flatpak (that's how I run it on
Ubuntu).
When you reinstalled 4.8, it probably re-created the icon to run the 4.8
version.
Regarding the way to see what shell you are running... you start a terminal
and then enter the command "echo $SHELL" - unless you've changed something,
it should reply "/bin/bash", which means your shell is bash, but I'm pretty
sure it is.
I'm glad you got everything working.
I don't work for nVidia (I'm just a long-time, satisfied user), but I
wanted to point out that this is not an nVidia problem; the problem is in
GTK that apparently is trying (incorrectly) to use some feature of nVidia.
By setting that environment variable, you are telling it not to do so.
