PyQt6 and QWindowCapture

[Maurizio Berti]

Instead of relying on arbitrary delays, you may consider installing an
event filter on the target window and wait for QEvent.Type.Show, which
should be safe enough. Once that's received the first time, you can remove
the event filter and start querying the capturable windows.
