Patch to fix the issue

From the patch:

"By setting the environment variable SDL_FBCON_DONT_CLEAR, the
application won't clear the framebuffer when exiting.

We use it inside an app launcher, which will set this variable before
exiting, in order for the loading screen to stay visible until the
launched application takes hand."
