[gui] Top bar flicker on resize while notification present

[tobe2098]

Describe the bug
While the GUI has the bottom right notification (for example, downloading an image), maximizing the size of the GUI may put the window in a "bad state" where the top flickers continuously until the next resize event.

To Reproduce
How, and what happened?

1. Open GUI.
2. Launch a VM you do not have an image for.
3. Resize the window to the full screen (drag to the top)

Expected behavior
No flickering.

May be caused by Flutter or compositor. The screen-cast cannot capture the behavior, the flicker does not appear in the video, only in the beginning it can be seen that the maximized window is not properly maximized.
