Reloading sway multiple times makes it fully unresponsive without any background or status bar #566

Description

@D3SYNCED

Reloading sway using mod+shift+c multiple times (even if there are large gaps between reloading) leads to it getting completely stuck on a screen with an unloaded background or waybar and everything unresponsive except that media keeps playing in the background if it was started before sway was reloaded.
Sometimes it takes up to 10 times to get the screen being stuck, sometimes it happens within 3.
What worked to prevent this was disabling shadows (or animations in the new version). If either would be uncommented, it would get stuck. Happens regardless of having either nouveau or nvidia-open driver being used.
