Description of problem: When using 'xm create' to start a paravirt guest, the SDL window often disappears part way through the boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a pv guest to use SDL graphics 2. xm create <pv guest> 3. wait for the guest to boot all the way up Actual results: I've seen the SDL window disappear on both i386 and ia64 about 20% of the time. I see nothing suspicious in xend.log. There is no output to xend-debug.log. Expected results: The SDL window should remain present every time a paravirt guest is started. Additional info: Looks similar to bz# 217635
