'floasretch' via qubes-users:
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?
All I'd know to do is reboot- don't know if there's a more elegant way.
