Starting firefox from a remote system did work, so I tried |
| 23 |
to restart X11. |
| 24 |
After my window manager (IceWM) had stopped I could see that |
| 25 |
the firefox window was there indeed, BUT previously hidden behind |
| 26 |
IceWM's background (icewmbg). |
| 27 |
I couldn't close this window, though. |
| 28 |
Killing X11 and restarting X11 solved the problem. |
| 29 |
I've never seen such an effect before and the problem |
| 30 |
is solved because it's working now, not because |
| 31 |
I've understood what was going on. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Many thanks to all who helped me, |
| 34 |
Helmut. |
