On my VDR (1.3.23), the graphlcd plugin does not show the channel name and logo after startup. When switching to another channel, name and logo are displayed correctly.

Reason: graphlcd's display thread is not yet active when VDR calls the SetChannel() methods of all cStatus objects. Because graphlcd creates its cStatus object (cGraphLCDState) in the display thread, it misses the first SetChannel.

Fix:

1. Move the plugin initialization from Start() to Initialize(). This makes it quite sure that the display thread is running at the first SetChannel.

2. In Start(), wait until the display thread is really active. On my system I have never seen a real wait here, but who knows...

Patch is attached. Testers and feedback welcome.
