Noticed this yesterday too. I think a recent refactor means init events are getting sent in the wrong order.

github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar@0914ea3972/src/modules/launcher/mod.rs (L274-L276)

Logged as low priority but will get this fixed quite quickly as it's annoying me too (author priviledge) and I know what needs to be fixed.
