### Re-using dispVMs ###
In the section above we've seen how using the 'ask' RPC policy allowed us to start a (disp)VM once and use it for opening subsequent URLs (or files). This effectively mitigates the the long starting times of dispVMs, at the price of a loss in compartmentalization. It is thus up to the user to manage the lifecycle of a dispVM, killing it when necessary when a a clean state is required.

### Managing changes ###
When opening and modifying a document in a dispVM, the content is sent back to `srcVM` when the dispVM closes, before the dispVM's private volume is wiped, nuking any other changes that were made to the VM - eg. updated add-on, tweaked browser preferences, ... ; The following ideas show how to cope with those "deliberate" changes:

- inter-VM copy/paste is probably the easiest way to synchronize text between the (disp)VM and `srcVM` (or another dedicated secure VM like the oft-used 'vault' VM). Eg.:
- passwords: copy/paste from/to KeepassX (or one of its forks).

As of Qubes R4.0, it is impossible to "name" a dispVM: opening a URL/file in a standard dispVMs will always start a VM with a 'dispXXXX' name (eg. 'disp1234').
If for some reason a user needs to have use a dispVM with a given name - which is for instance handy for 'allow' RPC policies - he/she can do like so (replace `fedora-28-dvm` with the dvm template you want to use):

Typing `gx` when the cursor is over an URL will then open it in `dstVM` (or will trigger a dialog if `ask` policy is configured, ignoring the `dstVM` argument).
