Beginners' Questions XML Editor Won't Open

    Hello all,

    I tried opening the XML Editor and it appeared briefly, only to disappear. Now when I click the program does nothing. I've reinstalled inkscape, restarted my computer, and of course restarted inkscape. Every time inkscape starts there's a small box that appears for a few seconds, and then disappears. I assume this is the XML Editor trying to open, but I'm not sure. I can't find it docked and if it's minimized I can't see where it is. Any help is appreciated!

     

    Thanks!
