A qube window that I was using in full-screen mode died and somehow locked up the gui in dom0 (totally unresponsive to keyboard & mouse input, except that the mouse still moved the pointer), and I had to switch to a text console (ctl-alt-F2) and kill xfce to force it to log out and reset the gui. That worked, but when I logged back in, all of my qube windows (and all the dom0 windows I had open, including some terminal emulators) momentarily flashed on screen one at a time in rapid succession, then disappeared. Alt-tab doesn't show them.
I can, however, start new dom0 windows, e.g. terminal emulator, qube manager, etc, and they work properly. xl list shows all my running qubes are still running, and I can access them using xl console, then within them I can use xlsclients and see that everything is still running. But if I try to create a new window, e.g. by running xterm, nothing appears. https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3147 for an unrelated issue has instructions to fix invisible windows: kill qvm-start-gui process and start it again: qvm-start-gui --all --watch & But when I do that, all my windows just flash momentarily again, and disappear, same as happened when I logged back in. Using Qubes 4.0 final release, fully updated. Please help! How can I get my windows back?
