Can't get Xinerama to work

I'm having some problems getting xinerama to work in ob3 alpha 5.
For some reason my second monitor stays gray and has that familiar cross
as a pointer. I suppose that means openbox isn't handling that screen at all.
It's notable that it works perfectly in openbox 2 and also in ion.

configure gives me this:
checking for XineramaQueryExtension in -lXinerama... yes
checking for X11/extensions/Xinerama.h... yes
checking for the Xinerama extension... yes

and ldd says:
libXinerama.so => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so (0x40024000)

I'm attaching my XF86Config-4

BTW, I'm using debian sid and XFree86 Version 4.3.0 (Debian 4.3.0-0ds4 20030416150820 dstone at aedificator)
