what version of the nvidia driver are you using?
There were a couple releases that had the same fan control problem that the windows driver had, versions 195.36.03 and 195.36.08.
try updating to the newest beta 256.29, you can find it here:

As the others said, make sure you enable V-sync. Make sure its enabled in the nvidia preferences and in the compiz settings.

that sounds really hot.
I'm running 3 clients @ 1440x900, max settings, v-sync enable, 8 x AA and 16 x AF set in nvidia control and sitting at 57C, fan is at 57%, also a GTX260.
Another thing for the op, you can check out this tool:
http://www.linuxhardware.org/nvclock/
It will let you control the fan speed manually and monitor its current speed if you want to test to see if its a fan issue.

Actually that's "worst case" for my temp. Normally its sitting in the 'green' at about 75c when doing eve + compiz + whatever else. It burps up a bit to 82c, but I'm using the "adaptive" setting for the fan control, and so far 82c is just touching "yellow" on the meter.
I'm betting the difference is the 'adaptive' setting as my fan is usually spinning about 40%. I'm guessing if I bumped that up, it would drop to relatively where your temps are.
I've run nv cards at close to 90c for extended periods of time for testing purposes, and have never had an issue, but cooler is always better.
It is ALSO possible that the 250xx drivers have changed how the fan responds to heavier load. Remember, I'm on the 195.xx series still.
Curious as to your fps with those settings.
My fan is on adaptive also.
Whichever client has focus sits at my v-sync (57fps) the two in the background sit at 28ish. Seems that something in the rendering chain gives drawing priority to the process with focus.
The GTX260 is clocked at stock 620/1080 and cpu is a core i7 920 @ 4.2ghz.

sounds like something going on with the graphics card maybe the heat sink is loose.
Theres instructions for generating a bug report and log on the nvidia linux forums here:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14
they may be able to help
you could also test with the unigine heaven benchmark, it will push the card as hard as anything and should allow you to narrow it down to a card issue or something weird with eve/wine, you can download it here:
