Have you tried switching to a virtual console (say Ctrl-Alt-F3),
and
then back again (Ctrl-Alt-F1)?  I think that does a context
switch,
so should give something a kick.

No. I will try next time it happens. Will that combination work
under XFCE?

Yes, it is just switching from the graphical environment to the
virtual
consoles.  Those consoles are now called multiuser, but used to be
runlevel 3.  You should be able to log in as your user, and run cli
commands like top and ls, etc.

The graphical environment runs on virtual console 1, which is why you
need to use another virtual console to switch away from it, and 1 to
switch back.

My DE (KDE/Plasma) runs on Console 2 for some reason.

The login manager runs on console 1. The first logged in desktop session runs on console 2 and so on. Unless you switch to the virtual console before that, which will push the desktop sessions further along.
