Thanks for the response.

As if by magic it did it again today.
I killed off chrome and virtualbox with no response. Killed off the screensaver with again no change. Compiz and X just sat at 100% cpu and zero response to the mouse/keyboard on the screen.

I don't tend to run much, lots of gnome-terminal's, firefox, opera, chrome and virtualbox are pretty much all that's ever running.

I'm not sure if it is the same issue or not but I found this:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=162243

Which at least partly matches both the hardware (multi nvidia GPU, multi-monitor), Ubuntu and behaviour but I can't trigger it with the script the OP has posted.

For reference I'm using Nvidia driver version: 260.19.06

I can/will run anything required to try and tie down the issue further.
