I had tried KDE, different configurations with GNOME, and upgrading from
10.04 to 10.10.  The best resolution was the upgrade, but that
introduced a new issue.  However, now I'm running a fully-functional,
non-crashing GNOME over Xinerama with absolutely no problems moving
between my three monitors.  No guarantees it'll work for you, but I put
up the .deb's with a known-working copy of the NVIDIA driver for my
setup (possibly applicable to yours as well).  You can read a short post
on it and download the packages from here:

I had entitled the post "Skype and Google Earth Causes X To Crash On
Ubuntu 10.10" because that was the issue of the day.... but to my
pleasant surprise, it also fixed the freezing issue.  No more SSH'ing
into the box to "sudo kill -9 `ps -ef | grep /usr/bin/X | grep -v grep |
awk {'print $2'}`" and no more lost work and grunts of frustration.

Here's hoping it works for some other folks out there, too.
