Description
This is on Wayland and X11. It is not at each startup but I would say 30% of time.
To fix that one can just resize the darktable window or by hitting F11 (moving full screen or windowed).
It seems like a race condition, but I haven't yet found how to fix that.

Research direction
Reproduce startup on both Wayland and X11, checking whether lighttable thumbnails sometimes lack color profiling and whether resizing or toggling F11 corrects it. Trace the startup and window-resize paths involved in thumbnail color profiling; done means profiling is applied consistently without requiring a resize or fullscreen toggle.
