manager flickers on and off . I removed the package xdg-utils and then
installed it again followed by a system reboot and the Files GUI manager ,
/usr/bin/xdg-open , still flickers on and off.

Before starting reinstalling stuff or assuming it is a graphics driver, see
whether you still see the problem if you login as guest. If it is OK then
it is a settings issue on your login.

xdg-open is not a gui file manager (on ubuntu, that would be nautilus) -
it's a command guaranteed to be available on desktop linux systems, which
is used for opening stuff with the default association

I was told either you force the system to disable 3d acceleration (the GUI
is 3d accelerated by default), or you change your graphics card, or you
update your driver.
