Centerpiece could take about one second to become visible on external displays under Niri. The issue was caused by waiting for an initial Wayland frame callback before painting the first buffer. I've fixed this issue in wayapp and opened a [PR over there](Ciantic/wayapp#4). This PR depends on the wayapp change and is waiting for that to be merged.

Problem
On external displays under niri, wayapp windows could take approximately one second to become visible. The initial Wayland frame callback was delayed by niri because wayapp committed an empty surface and waited for the callback before rendering the first buffer.
Specifically, I stumbled upon this issue with centerpiece having a noticeable delay while opening on external screens.
Solution
Render and present the first egui frame immediately after receiving the configure event. Frame callbacks are still requested afterward for subsequent frames.
