AppCenter does not load images/icons on first load

[Letterus]

What Happened?

When starting AppCenter the first time I quite often experience that images/icons are not loaded.

Images/icons then are shown after closing AppCenter and reopening it again.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Boot machine
2. Log in
3. Start AppCenter

Expected Behavior

Icons should appear on first load.

OS Version

8.x (Early Access)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

I'm not reading any link to this issue. But looks as if it's fixed now?

[teamcons]

It isn't. eOS 8 as well - It sometimes happens, not only on first load.
Closing and reopening fixes it - Temporarily. The next time AppCenter is opened, may or may not load icons

It is interesting some apps may not have that issue, like Mail.

I think this started after #2185. Might be worth reverting since slow is better than broken imo
