X (xfce) glitches

After an update (most certainly), this started to happen:

I use an external monitor connected to VGA port. It seems to happen when I connect to a different monitor (office -> home, ..).
I use a small script that detects a new connection and setups appropiately (xrandr), https://gist.github.com/skraelings/33ef9a9d890f07457efc
If I logout from Xfce, it freezes the system leaving no other choice than to make a hard reset.

Anyone out there having similar issues?

xorg-server 1.18.0-4
xfce 4.12.0

Hello, and welcome to Arch Linux.  Be aware that we discourage large pictures in threads were members may not reasonably expect to find pictures.  Many members are on slow or metered connections.

Tell us more about your graphics chip set and the driver you are using.
