I'm seeing the same problem as Jérôme and Mauro [from bug 650539]. I have exactly one NVIDIA display adapter, using the proprietary driver (version 173 and "current" both exhibit the problem), and the adapter is attached to exactly one monitor. Emacs, rxvt, VLC, and xawtv each crash the server. Here is the Xorg output:

I ran through half of the demos in the "qtdemo" package and none crashed the server. (I don't have all the KDE infrastructure installed, so I didn't test that.) So it does not seem to be related to bug 650539. The server does *not* crash when using the free-software NVIDIA driver.
I have not been able to disable the Xinerama extension either by putting 'Option "Xinerama" "0"' in the "ServerLayout" sections, or by using the "-xinerama" command-line argument to /usr/bin/Xorg. I've read that the NVIDIA driver forces it on or something.
Also, "ubuntu-bug" accused my of installing NVIDIA drivers manually from nvidia.com. I did not.

As Robert wrote, i also meet this bug in the same condition.
- Sony Vaio z series;
- Ubuntu 10.10 64bits
- Nvidia Geforce GT 330
- last NVIDIA drivers
I also have a intel card in this laptop (with a switch to use it or the nvidia), and it's work without changing anything (except gl lib needed for 3d acceleration)
