I was hoping that the patch by Daniel Colascione [1] would addressed this issue too. So here's the fact, when a new frame is created (whether it's a new Emacs instance, C-x 5 2 or emacsclient) I notice that the window is initially created white then painted according to the theme. Since my desktop setup is mostly white this is quite annoying. Please note that it's not a matter with Xresources as I managed to match the X resources entities with the values from my Emacs theme (background, no menu, no scrollbars, etc.) so to minimize any transitions. Here is what I mean: emacs.menuBar: off emacs.toolBar: off emacs.verticalScrollBars: off emacs.background: #000000 Now, it is entirely possible that this is an issue with the window manager (i3), but as I said this only happens with Emacs. In particular it doesn't happen with rxvt, which has a black background too. So I was wondering if someone else is experiencing this. Please let me know if you need more details about my environment. I'm using Emacs straight from the master branch (03de82fe7ca09ab40fbcae394d4fcdfe3374496e), but the same happens with version 24 from the Debian Jessie repo.
