Tiny pgtk regression

Tiny pgtk regression

[John Yates]

My current OS is Ubuntu 21.10.  I build emacs from master
and run with a black background via Prot's modus-vivendi.

Historically I specify --with-x-toolkit=athena.  Recently I have
been experimenting with --with-x-toolkit=pgtk.  Previously, at
start the initial frame appeared already filled with the black
background.  Now, after changing only the toolkit, the initial
frame flashes white and then changes to black.

[ I recommend you send such issues as bug reports rather than to
  `emacs-devel`.  ]

I suspect that same difference is visible in `emacs -Q` where the athena
build would show you a dark background while the pgtk build presumably
would show you a light background?

A way to circumvent those issues might be to set your color theme (and
other parts of your config which affect placement or size of frames) in
`~/.emacs.d/early-init.el`, so they're applied *before* the first
frame is created.

(Please submit this as a bug in the future.)

Just to be clear, you are talking about Emacs configured with
`--with-pgtk', which is _not_ an X toolkit, as opposed to
`--with-x-toolkit=gtk', correct?

Thanks.
