Flash of black screen between logging in and loading DE

[Mibo5354]

 * slick-greeter version 1.1.4
 * Distribution - Manjaro 17.1.5 i3-gaps
 * Graphics hardware Intel HD Graphics 405 and Mesa driver used
 * 64 bit

Issue
Despite having the same wallpaper for the greeter and in my DE when I log in there is a flash of black screen before returning to my wallpaper. This did not happen in lightdm-gtk-greeter, how could I fix it in slick-greeter?

Steps to reproduce
Set both greeter and DM wallpaper the same.
Log in.

Expected behaviour
No flash of black and the wallpaper stays the same throughout the greeter to DM experience.

I have the same issue. Not entirely sure if it is a point to reinitialize to user-specific resolutions (even if they are the same as login screen) or what..

This is the commit that disabled the drawing of the background when starting sessions. The commit message explains why it was disabled.

@Mibo5354 are you still experiencing this issue?

[Mibo5354]

Yeah, it's still happening. slick-greeter version: 1.3.2-1

Minimal DEs and WM should be tested to ensure the default state of the root window is OK.
We might have to clear that window or explicitly paint it black (or the background color chosen by the user).

Can this be optional?

Same issue here. Was hoping there would be fix. Ah well...
