Bug Description
I'm seeing a white screen right before the greeter shows the login mask. This does not happen with the GTK greeter.
Tested it with Intel HD Graphics 2000, Intel HD Graphics 3000, and Nvidia NVS 3000 (nouveau and nvidia-current).

Fixed in 0.0.7. The issue appears to be the window is created, but not drawn fast enough due to the loading of the background. Solution is to load the background before showing the window.
