After quite some time looking, I think I have found the culprit. I am using UltraMon on my system. It seems like the changes in 1.17.1-5 interact badly with the Window management feature [1]. The good news is, this feature can be disabled by program. After excluding XWin.exe, everything is back to normal. Sorry for the noise, but it's the first time I have had a problem with either program, so it was hard to make the connection. I'll probably notify the UltraMon authors, to consider excluding XWin by default.
