[Bug 209227] Re: KDE3 icons flickering

[Michael Marley]

In order to replicate the problem, you must be using a video driver
which is not "vesa."  For some reason, the flickering does not happen
with vesa.  I have tested and seen it to be happening on all KDE-based
distributions that use KDE3 and the ati, fglrx, nv, nvidia, and intel
drivers.  I have not tested other machines, but I assume it happens
there too.  To make the flickering much more obvious, you can bring up a
Dolphin window (try the folder "/usr/bin" and ten resize it to be very
small on the horizontal axis.  (This way, some of the descriptions and
paths for the icons exceed the area for the description at the bottom.)
Then, mouse over the icons in the window.  As the description bar is
constantly redrawn larger to fit the descriptions, you will see all of
the icons in the window flickering, not just the one your mouse goes
over.  Also, instead of looking at the actual icon, look at the text
below the icon.  It seems to be more obvious when flickering.
