I saw it blink out a couple of times but come back on an updated
Jessie yesterday. this was one incident after bringing up xastir.
successive xastir runs did not seem to have any effect.

It goes and stays gone on stretch.

I've been testing on a machine here at work.  My personal "production"
xastir pi machine hasn't been "apt-get update"ed in a while, and it
has never had a problem.  If I have time i'll take a look at it
tonight, just to make sure it's still sane.

For those having problems, it might be worth a try to install the XFCE
desktop if it's available in Raspbian Stretch. It's not as lightweight as
LXDE, but the Pi 3 may handle it ok. If XFCE is not an option, perhaps
their are other alternatives to LXDE.
