Description Marcel Martin 2003-02-06 23:53:26 UTC
Version:           1.2 (using KDE 3.1.9)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.1 20021207 (Gentoo Linux 3.2.1-20021207)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-xfs-r1

The entire Konsole window's content is cleared to the background color and redrawn on every resize event, which leads to a major flicker when resizing.

Patch to reduce flickering

This patch sets the WNoAutoErase QWidget flag for the konsole part, which
reduces flicker to a minimum.
