Version: (using KDE KDE 4.0.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: gcc 4 OS: Linux whenever a key gets pressed the panel plugins (pager) gets displayed or not -> flickering the clock gets invisible etc..
There's no more kdesktop and kicker in KDE 4, only plasma.
I don't get flickering, but I do get bad painting. For example, the toolbox becomes completely garbled when firefox has focus. This is an xorg bug or a video driver bug though so there's nothing that can be done in plasma.
there are two sets of issues: argb things (jstubbs is correct there on the manageability of those) and unecessary repaints triggered which has been fixed in both trunk and branch.
