Hi group,
I think this is xcfe specific, because it hasn't happen with other wms.
If, after running startx, I move to another terminal using
ctr+alt+(f1-f6,f12), when I return to the X window, ctrl+alt+f7, I see
nothing but a blank terminal, not even a cursor. I have to navigate to
wherever I started X, hit ctrl-c and run startx again.
Anybody else have this problem? FWiW, this is taking place on an Asus
900A, using a configuration-less X setup.
Maxim

Completely black terminal, black terminal with text cursor or black
terminal with mouse pointer?

This may be a stupid idea, but did you try Ctrl-Alt-F8?

Not at all stupid, it's actually a very good tip :-)
I've seen gnome do similar stupid things when switching back to X from a virt
term
