This is way hard to fix. WebKit "commits" as soon as it gets the first byte from the remote server, and that "commit" turns the screen white. So pre-loading a nice screen won't help. In order to fix this, the U1 widget would have to contain *two* webviews, one of which loads the "pre-loading" screen, and the other of which loads the real page, and then when the real page loads, we swap the widgets. This involves some serious re-plumbing of how everything works.
