Bug Description

Saw this on 162 and 163
MX4
also on krillin and mako

Get the update and reboot to install, open the greeter, there is a blank screen with just the bottom edge hint
touch the screen and it displays the scope contents immediately

Also reproduces frequently after reboot

ok, went back to 159, verified no issue after several reboots.
updated only qtmir/qtubuntu to the very latest and the issue appeared on the first reboot.

so these 2 changes are the suspects

just an update - we could completely revert the occlusion changes back to a couple of weeks ago to get back to the original baseline. however there is a real issue where qtmir is getting confused due to some buffer dropping logic and getting out of sync with what actually needs updating. our preference is to spend the time to actually correct this problem rather than further feature reverting
