I'd like to report exactly the same problem. I switch to a tty but I can't go back to the GUI successfully after about 5 minutes. The screen is black with the exception of a working mouse. Control + Alt + Backspace doesn't respond and there is nothing I can do but reboot. All features are working before the crash.
This is a dump I got from typing "beryl" at the command line:

I'm using:
AMD64 4000+
nVidia 6200 Graphics card (with nVidia binary drivers installed ok)
Fedora Core 6 (No Ubuntu install)
Gnome 2.16.3
Beryl-core 0.2.0
Thanks
