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.
