I don't know if it's of any importance, but I thought I should mention that this still happens to me with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 580. I tried a while ago to boot up the (then) new Gnome 3 release Live CD, and it just froze immediately after automatically logging in and displaying the desktop. The mouse pointer was moving but nothing responded to clicks or drags, at all. I thought, then, that the Live CD was borked. I tried to re-download the image, try again, but it didn't work.
Then now with the newer versions of Ubuntu, I'm actually experiencing the same thing! I'm running Ubuntu GNOME Remix now, and I can't even boot into the installer without using a "nomodeset" argument to the boot line when booting. Then boot again with the same trick, install nvidia-* and all is fine after that. Nouveau definitely doesn't look stable from my perspective. :-) Eagerly awaiting a solution to this.
