The problem appear also with "Evince" on FullScreen. When i let the mouse cursor on a button, the "hint" make the screen flash too.
With "OO.Calc" no problem, but i don't have a lot of control. the hint on the button to return of normal screen not make the flash.
With OO.Writer, i put a text with an internet link and i let the mouse cursor , the hint doesn't make the screen flash.
With AbiWord, the screen flash when other box screen appears,
The problem is related with Compiz-fusion for some applications. I found also others different behaviors with the appareance of windows who not appears when i put the Effects 3D off.
I asked to somebody who has a "System 76->pangolin" with Ubuntu 7.10 pre-installed by the company, run with Compiz, and he confirm me the same behavior with Firefox.
