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.
