--- Comment #3 from Rafał Mużyło galtgendo@o2.pl --- ...
OK, it seems I was wrong about what the problem actually was, but things are quite quirky.
My window manager is set to "focus follows mouse" policy with a 0.8s delay.
If I move the mouse in and out of the window a couple times (to a different window), slowly enough for the focus change to take place, after a random number of tries (but relatively low) the window eventually gets refreshed. Alt-tabbing doesn't *seem* to make a difference though.
So, it's not so much a startup delay, but some very odd race which conditions recently changed...
