Comment 5 for bug 717989

I think it may be connected with new version of GTK, but I have really no proof. I have also noticed that not every screenlet flickers the same way. Some flicker way more than others. Also, for my experience, Alpha version flickered much more than Beta version flickers. I think digging the redraw routines can give some hint what could be causing the flicker.

Maybe also some other projects have noticed flickering in Natty and have solutions.

If I have time, I'll try to look into this, but I'm not sure when.
