Bug Description

For quite some time now I get incredibly annoying menu flickering when opening a tray menu. It almost looks as if the menu gets redrawn for every item of the menu. For example the krandrtray menu exposes the most flickering since it got the most entries of all KDE tray apps.

This is a regression compared to upstream, essentially removes user experience completely, makes some menus unusable, looks horrible, annoys me like nothing else...

This problem seems to be already fixed in sources of 0.3.2 package version => There is no flickering, but I have feeling, that menu is loading longer (longer delay between mouse click and menu appearance).

This is now fixed with the latest upload. I no longer experience flicker with KRandrTray. :)
