@akohlmey I’m not sure where to start with this: I’ve done a fresh download of VMD 2.0.0’s release binary but can’t … find … the main window. Here’s what my desktop looks like:
Funky business in the window manager. I’m not sure why vmd’s client machine is different:
$ wmctrl -m
Name: Xfwm4
Class: xfwm4
PID: 2727
Window manager's "showing the desktop" mode: N/A
$ wmctrl -l
0x01000003 -1 hppav xfce4-panel
0x01600069 -1 hppav Desktop
0x03e00003 0 hppav Terminal - vmd
0x03c00009 0 N/A VMD 2.0.0 OpenGL Display ## why "N/A"??
0x04800017 0 hppav Can't find VMD's Main Window - Science Talk - Materials Science Community Discourse — Mozilla Firefox
0x03e002ed 0 hppav Terminal - sherntee@hppav:~
Key info (but not sure what else to add):
