Depends on your aesthetic sensitivities, I guess. It's true that it is a fair 
bit of code to solve this, but on the other hand, that brief flash does look a 
bit unpolished and cheap. And depending on the styling of the application, it's 
almost impossible to work around it. Personally, I often find that that last 
bit of polish separates a good application from a great one.

Setting the background color to white or dark works for applications whose 
backgrounds are close to white or black. The flash gets noticeably worse the 
more the application background deviates from white or black, and especially so 
if colors are involved.
