Just a note on how to disable Xinerama, it was hard for me and may be it
may help others. I was bit by this bug trying to use emacs. I have a
Nvidia card and two monitors with Twinview, and saw Twinview as the
option being used in the nvidia configuration tool. I also checked my
xorg.conf and I couldn't see Xinerama anywhere, but I was still hit by
this bug. So I simply saved a new xorg.conf file with nvidia-
configuration-tool and now I could see the line enabling Xinerama in my
xorg.conf. Commenting out this line and restarting allowed me to apply
the workaround finally.
