    OK, I think I am seeing a different kind of flicker now. It doesn't
    happen anywhere as often as before (which is probably why I missed it
    last night). The flicker is more like a flash of some other window
    whereas the flicker before used to "shake" the screen.

    Does this ring a bell?
