[SOLVED] Dual monitor acting weird on Fluxbox after system upgrade

Question

Hello.
I'm using Fluxbox on Xorg. I have two monitors and for more than one year my setup has been this in ~/.xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --output DVI-1 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 1920x0
exec startfluxbox
Now, I just upgraded my packages (fluxbox and some xorg-* packages were upgraded, like xorg-server, as well as xf86-video-ati) and, although the dual monitor setup works, it seems like each monitor is not recognized individually. My Fluxbox toolbar spans on both monitors horizontally (whereas it used to reside on the left one) and when I maximize a window, it's maximized on both monitors (whereas it used to be maximized on one monitor only, the closest).
Before reverting the upgrade, anybody knows why this is happening?
Thanks,
Phil

Yup, I can confirm that. It's the fluxbox package.
I've enabled logging. Here's the full log of 1.3.5-3:

Notice the -RANDR  and -XINERAMA lines? I bet that is what's causing this.
For completeness here is the log from 1.3.5-2:

I need to run now, but I'd say a bug report would indeed be appropriate here. If nobody gets to that earlier I'll see if I can submit one tonight.
Thanks guys.
