Q: Persisting full-screen blanks
Each time I restart the system, at least 3 blank spaces appear for apps that aren’t even launched. Two of them can be closed by alt-hovering and clicking the arrow/close button, but MPlayerX’ space can’t be. Ever.
I tried uninstalling the app, but that didn’t kill the blank. I restored the system from Time Machine onto a clean slate, but that didn’t help either.
Is there a Terminal command I can execute to solve this?
