[Question #678331]: Xpad note closes and won't reopen on Linux Mint (not consistent)

 

New question #678331 on Xpad:
https://answers.launchpad.net/xpad/+question/678331

Sometimes (I would say with a 50% chance), after re-logging to my Linux Mint, the Xpad note is not present on the Desktop and I'm unable to open the program again (it does nothing silently). Rebooting laptop fixes the problem - I am able to open Xpad, however, letting my laptop to sit idle for a while (which starts the usual routine "Screensaver -> Login Window -> Desktop" ) leads to the same outcome (with 50% chance).
I would like to have my note present on the Desktop at any times. Am I doing something wrong? I have a feeling that I'm just missing something really simple:) Any help or advice appreciated

Boring details that are meant to add clarification if needed:

Xpad version: 4.5.0-0ubuntu1
Linux version: Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit

Steps I take: 
1. Fresh start / restart
    Xpad note is not present on a Desktop
Additional check (the process is not running)
    ps -A | grep xpad
Open Xpad
    Home -> Xpad : Xpad opens, note on a Desktop appears
Additional check (the process is running now)
    ps -A | grep xpad
    2226 ?        00:00:01 xpad

2. Take X minute break

3. Login to the system again
    Xpad note is not present on a Desktop
Additional check (the process is running!)
    ps -A | grep xpad
    2226 ?        00:00:03 xpad
Open Xpad
    Home -> Xpad : silently does nothing
Additional check (the process is still running)
    ps -A | grep xpad
    2226 ?        00:00:03 xpad

If any additional info is needed - just tell me what you need to know
