I have seen some cases where XQuartz manages to relocate a window completely off-screen; see thread starting here: https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/xquartz-dev/2016-May/003958.html Is it possible that that's what's happening to you, rather than the xterm getting killed completely? For me, that happened with sleep/wake cycles or screen resizes (such as attaching or removing an external monitor), but I would not be surprised if a workspace swap or screensaver start/stop caused much the same thing. > I run all my shells under screen sessions at the remote end, and those > screen sessions are almost always still listed as live at the server, so it > can take some trial and error to find out which displays I lost. That sure sounds like the process is still there somewhere --- have you tried to correlate against "ps" output to determine that? FWIW, I've had some luck with getting such windows back in view by doing another sleep/wake cycle. Also notice that it seemed to be affected by how the window's position had been determined to start with. regards, tom lane _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
