I had this same problem on Gutsy.
Now, on a fresh install of Hardy Alpha 5, both updates in update manager applied, nvidia-glx-new drivers (169) from the restricted drivers manager. No other software installed.
Intel E2140
2GB Kingston Ram
Asrok 775DUAL-VSTA
GeForceFX 5500 AGP
With "desktop effects" on, Braid will completely freeze my system *every* time it is clicked on, wether in the screensaver preview or full screen. With "desktop effects" off, Braid runs fine. I can also run it error free in at least 6 other distros on this same computer, without trouble, using the same nvidia drivers ;-)
Obviously, the problem isn't in an *older* version of nvidia drivers, and obviously the new nvidia drivers *don't* fix the problem. Compiz on - crashes. Compiz off - stable. I think it's pretty safe to go with compiz, and not nvidia drivers, as the culprit, and work for a fix from there. To recap - it happens on at least *one other video platform*, it happens on multiple Ubuntu versions, and is both reproducable and (workaround)fixable solely by turning Compiz on and off. Anyone seeing a pattern here?
