Have you tried switching to a virtual console (say Ctrl-Alt-F3),

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.
I haven't actually been following this thread but as a trial, on my
system where I'm running Plasma on Xorg with I believe a GDM DM, and
ctrl-alt-f1 switches me to the gdm login screen, then ctrl-alt-f4 do
nothing, ctrl-alt-f5 switches me to a tty shell login prompt, and then
ctrl-alt-f6 to ctrl-alt-f12 do nothing, and alt-f1 to alt-f12 do
nothing, so nothing got me back to the running X session. Still sitting
at the shell login prompt I issued ctrl-alt-f1 which took me back to the
gdm login screen, and then as another trial I issue ctrl-alt-f2 which
took me back to the running X session. This on f37 upgraded from a
freshly installed f36 system.
regards,
Steve
