This is one of the first things I did, of course, before coming to the list. When I try to run it, as I mentioned earlier, a process launches, but no window appears. I can find and kill such processes before trying to run it again, but each time I try to run it, the same happens, no window, no gui, but, indeed, a process. Each time, I kill the process (kill -9 $pid), and try again. > You can also try checking the system logs for clues.

Sadly, I'm finding nothing in those logs mentioning pcmanfm (sudo grep pcmanfm /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog).
