Bug Description

$ inkscape --version
Inkscape 0.92pre1 unknown (Jul 13 2016)

Aside, that shouldn't happen. Trunk should show the installation version with the --version command. On my machine, it should show: 1:0.91.0+devel+15016+76~ubuntu16.04.1

$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS \n \l

$ uname -a
Linux panther 4.4.0-28-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 24 10:09:13 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ xdpyinfo | grep 'dimensions:'
  dimensions: 2560x1600 pixels (677x423 millimeters)

Replicate

1. Install Inkscape Trunk from PPA
2. Start Inkscape

Expected Results

Regular Inkscape window.

Actual Results

See attached.

Switch to another desktop (e.g., Ctrl+F1) then switch back (e.g., Ctrl+F2). The wonky business is cleared up.

Waiting for several seconds also clears up the workspace. Looks like this could be a refresh timing issue. Perhaps there's something working in the background that displaces the priority for updating the screen?

Attached shows zooming in and out using +/- keys. It's a bit disconcerting to see.

Ignore that work around. It only worked because I was on the other desktop for a several seconds before returning to the desktop with Inkscape running.
