Same problem here. Happened to me on both Ubuntu Lucid and now even on Natty. I have uploaded a video here with the issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pacgICWaA7k

I don't use xinerama. I use the seperate x servers option:
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Layout0"
    Screen 0 "Screen0" 1280 0
    Screen 1 "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0"
    InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    Option "Xinerama" "0"
EndSection

My graphic card is nVidia 8800GT and I run Ubuntu 64bit. This has happened while I was upgrading my Lucid distro to Maverick(probably firefox and maybe other apps were open, though no skype or google earth as mentioned in some cases). It generally happens at random points. In the video it happens while I load a game and move my cursor from the right monitor to the left. Hitting CTRL+ALT+F1 or any other combination does nothing. The whole system freezes and a shutdown from thebutton on the case is needed.
