As a prerequisite to removing Mir's initial black frame, we would want to modify mir-demos to ensure they (the demo servers) actively paint something on start-up. Otherwise you get the situation where you're looking at an old frame (VT?) indefinitely until a client is started.

It's only this slow on a cold boot. It's somewhat faster on a second login. It'd be nice for there to be something like: * Splash screen * Progress bar * User's wallpaper (blurred?) during this time. Maybe it's faster on bare metal, but I'm waiting a while in a Qemu VM. == Note == The experience might differ depending on whether you use unity-greeter (X11-based, default in 17.04) or unity8-greeter (not installed by default yet), which is better suited for this.
