fluxbox madness after latest updates

Tue Mar 9 14:28:04 UTC 2010

help! yesterday night I applied the available updates (list below), 
rebooted the machine and my fluxbox went nuts.

Every second time when a new window opens the system stalls. The 
interface becomes totally unresponsive. No reaction to mouse clicks, 
hotkey combinations don't work, nothing helps. Only when I switch to 
console and kill the latest (only latest) started application I'm back 
to normal. Looks like all the clicks and keypresses are buffered during 
the system is unresponsive, and they get  executed all at once. This 
happens almost with every second window I open no matter of applications.

Funny things happen with hotkey combinations. They can be executed only 
it I remove the focus from the latest opened window, otherwise -- 
nothing works.

On top of that there are random crashes of some other applications (i.e. 
thunderbird) that work just fine on other WMs.

The only packages possibly related I see in the list below are xorg* and 
new nvidia drivers. I can't roll back because the old version are gone. 
Anybody else is experiencing this or am I the luckiest?

I'm temporary on openbox now, but I want back.

Any suggestions?

I'm running F12 x86_64, should this matter.
