After using the system all day (including unlocking and unlocking the screen just fine) and then leaving it overnight I come back to a blank screen.
Doing a Ctrl-Alt-F2 gives me a command prompt but I can't get X to respond (with Ctrl-Alt-F1).
After a reboot all is well until after some apparently random period it happens again.
I've gone through the screen locker and power management settings in Xfce (turned power management off) and turned of power management in BIOS. No joy.
System spec: Qubes RC2 rc2 running Xfce on Intel NUC5i5YRH with 16G ssd. Kde is also installed but I'm not using it.
Has anyone got a solution?

Yes I know it's seems trivial but I'm rolling it out to relatively inexperienced users and it never happened on any of my machines running R2, R3.0 or R3.1 (all on KDE).

Does anyone know where to start looking into the issue?

That might be the clue.
I waited until it happened again, did Ctrl-F2 and then restarted then xfsettingsd process with a kill -HUP.
Ctrl-F1 then got me back to the login for the X without having to reboot or restart VMs.
I've only tried this once ... if it's repeatable over the next few days it is at least a workaround until it's fixed in Xfce.

I've had the same issues since Qubes 2, when I first started using Qubes.
So it's an ongoing issue that has yet to be resolved. It has been the topic of a few threads.
