An odd set of (unrememberable) key presses has "kterm" windows all hiding , even after relogin .

Hello ALL , I have done this before and being a tad older than when it happened last time I do not remember the sequence of commands or key presses or ??? , which brought back these now hidden kterm sessions .

Do note in the screen capture there are the restarted firefox and two kterm sessions I have manually created . These are pts/15(as root) & pts/16(My user) .

But ...

Code:# ps -auxww | grep -i pts
