Description: When using Arch Linux as a VirtualBox Guest, if the Monitor Count is set to 2 or more on the host (also Arch Linux in this case), the 2nd screen cannot be enabled using 5.0.0-1 of the virtualbox-guest-utils.

virtualbox-guest-utils 4.3.28-1, and the Virtualbox Guest Utils installed from the virtualbox-guest-iso package work just fine.


Additional info:
* package version -> virtualbox-guest-utils 5.0.0-1 (downgrading to 4.3.28-1 restores functionality)
* config and/or log files etc. ->
-Xorg.5.0.0-1.log for the Arch Guest with virtualbox-guest-utils 5.0.0-1, Xorg.4.3.28-1.log for the guest with virtualbox-guest-utils 4.3.28-1


Steps to reproduce:
1. In the guest settings in the Virtualbox host, under Display, set the "Monitor Count" to 2.
2. For the Arch Linux guest with virtualbox-guest-utils installed, in the host, under "View" -> "Virtual Screen 2" -> Enable.
3. The 2nd screen does not appear with virtualbox-guest-utils 5.0.0-1

If desired, install virtualbox-guest-utils 4.3.28-1, or build the Guest utils from the iso, and the 2nd screen will appear.
   Xorg.5.0.0-1.log (22.1 KiB)
   Xorg.4.3.28-1.log (21 KiB)
