minimized VMs just seem to disappear in Baremetal edition

My students will sometimes minimize the VMs in bare metal edition and they will just disappear. I have hit F11 to minimize the LivePC background, and they are not there. I know they are running because I can RDP into them, but I can't find them.

Has anyone else seen this? Have you fixed the problem on your system?

I would be interested in learning more about this

Thanks

This issue does occur when

This issue does occur when the Minimize is used in Baremetal. We'll need to investigate why the windowing manager is losing the vmware instance.

Restoring minimized vms

Position your mouse over the icon for the vm as shown in the appropriate cell in the table at a location in which the mouse pointer acknowledges being positioned on a roll-over. Very, very rapidly click the left mouse button 3 or 4 times. The window for the vm should be restored in full screen mode. This works on my HP Pentium 4 with 1g of memory.
