Bug Description
Before the grey background, when phone booted, it went directly from the Google splash, which is white text on black background, to the shell screen.
Now after Google splash, you see this ugly grey fill the screen, until shell screen appears.
Can we make the grey a debugging option or something?

Yes, grey shows you that the shell has failed to paint pixels where it should have, when it should have.
But to make it seamless we need more compositing hooks so the shell can override Mir's default clear function. It's bad for the shell to assume Mir will clear the screen to black all the time.
