Unreachable windows

I was trying out an app in ratpoison that doesn't tile well, xnview, and thought I'd use ratpoison's 'tmpwm' command and run twm.

Then I quit twm. And now two windows have become lost.

I can restart ratpoison, I even installed openbox, and twm again, but none can find the windows! They are still running of course.

How do I get my windows back?

Re: Unreachable windows

Check the Panel - are they on a desktop? Otherwise it may be difficult...

Re: Unreachable windows

Nothing in the panel.

I tried fluxbox's and fbpanel and in fact they find only the currently active window, while I have several more running still. Ratpoison sees these, but not the ones I lost originally.
