the other day, after updating to QT 7.1.5, iTunes would launch but  
wouldn't bring up a window.
I could see the contents of its library via Bonjour on another  
machine, but not on the local machine!

I quit and relaunched iTunes several times - no go.

I restarted my machine and all was okay.  But, it was very strange,  
of course.
