hmm, I think we were talking of a different bug ^^ I was talking about the flickering we get when a window is move_resized (this is a very brief flicker, and is most probably due to a bad refresh of the window from the WM, the old window's content being drawn on the larger window). It's much harder to get this bug now, because I have reduced the number of resizing to the minimum (that's why this bug is marked as "fixed" for us). The bug you're talking about is different: it's clearly a miscalculation of the icons positions when an icon is being removed, and it last few seconds (the time the icon is decreasing to 0), and under any WM (Compiz included). Actually this is a known bug (and it probably has its own bug report already), so sorry I didn't understand correctly :-) The flickering in Metacity is still a real bug afaik, but then I don't think it affects KWin, so I'm going to remove them. 2011/1/5 Bellegarde Cedric
