The title bar that has the buffer name in it (and thus has to be updated 
when a buffer is visited), is necessary to reproduce the problem.

I just said that an unchanging title bar does not bar me from being able 
to note the lack of the problem (because I originally described the 
problem as a delay between the title bar update and the frame refresh).

The delay is multi-second only with my personal config, correct, but I 
haven't been able to reproduce the problem with unchanging title bar, or 
without a title bar.

I see, thank you.

For anybody else who might want to try with GNOME, though, my installed 
version is 43.1 (one that comes with the latest Ubuntu release).
