Comment 3 for bug 1784817

Hi Ludovic,

I haven't been able to reproduce the issue yet, so I guess I need more information.
This is what I have done.

I have downloaded, installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 in a new Virtualbox virtual machine.
Then I installed all the dependency packages (see below) to download, configure and build the Xpad source code (current development version is 5.1).

bzr
build-essential
autoconf
gettext
intltool
libgtksourceview-3.0-dev
libgtk-3-dev
libglib-2.0-dev
(did I miss anything?)

After that I started Xpad and created a note. I restarted the VM and logged in again. The Xpad screen reappeared.

Do you notice anything I am doing different from you that might matter?
If not, would you mind to build and test Xpad 5.1 to see if the problem has already been resolved in this version?

These are the steps to download, build and install.

apt install *the_above*packages*
bzr checkout lp:xpad
cd xpad
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

Also verify that the latest Xpad is running (right-click on a pad -> Help -> About).
