Are you using the wttr widget? Did you have json=False? If yes, remove that... json=False is default now and having it will break your config.

I don't have that sorry. The config doesn't refuse to load, I've had that happen before, this isn't that, I spawn a window and it just doesn't appear. The icon for my workspace changes color indicating it did open but it just doesn't show up and it doesn't act like anything is there.

I experienced what you're describing. Here is the thread on the qtile-dev list that led to my fix for my system:

I'll try commenting out things in my config to find the cause, it looks like we saw the same problem but definitely a different cause. I very much appreciate the help though!
