I haven't had a chance to research this but in case it helps anyone else
a workaround I'm using for now is to use the commands plugin and launch
a new x session with:
startx -- :2
When I log out of the new session I'm back to freevo and in the mean
time I've access to any app I need which in the end is handy.
