Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Where are you starting? What can you see?
Open Element as per standard on a GNOME desktop, but the window proceeds to flash & goes on to not render anything but a text cursor at the bottom of it.

Even the topbar icon is caught up in this, as it briefly renders on launching the program & then visually disappears (while still being clickable).
2. No more steps, just doesn't work lol.

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
For Element to render correctly.
#### What happened instead?
On opening, the window proceeds to flash & go on to not render anything but a text cursor at the bottom of it.
