The problem only exists when connecting locally to a server. The reason is as
follows:
As soon as a local server gets started, the server triggers the client part to
shut down all loaded VMs, including the UI. Once that has happened, for a few
consecutive frames no rendering commands are written into the command buffer
whatsoever. Yet, the renderer still swaps between front and back OpenGL buffer.
Since the UI gets killed immediately after writing the connect screen, only one
of these buffers has been written with the connect screen, the other one still
contains the previous image.
I fixed this in rev 1285 by simply adding a check in SCR_UpdateScreen(),
whether the UI VM is running. If it's not, UpdateScreen will do nothing so that
the connect screen never gets swapped away.
