Paint selector widget missing on startup

This is a follow-up to #1509 (closed), which is itself a follow up to #125 (closed)

Summary (copied from #1509 (closed))

  • Since the switch to gtk3 we have problems with random widgets not showing up after startup.
  • This seems to be caused whenever Inkscape changes the size of the window on startup (e.g. to restore the previous window size).
  • It can be "fixed" by manually changing the size slightly (widgets appear instantly).

This issue is about the paint selector widget

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • open preferences dialog > Interface > Windows
  • Change Default window size (first preference)r to Small
  • Restart Inkscape
  • draw an rectangle

This also occurs for other preference settings, but these options seem to work consistently on Linux Mint, Cinnamon DE.

What happened?

  • Paint selector in the bottom left corner is not updated until you switch windows or resize the window image

What should have happened?

  • updated immediately

Inkscape Version and Operating System:

  • Inkscape 1.2-dev (04e5423e, 2021-04-16) Linux Mint 20
