Comment (by stippi):
... perhaps it is not yet clear why flickering actually happens. The
crucial bit is how screen updates are synchronized. I think for normal
drawing updates, the app_server will delay a screen update until the view
is finished drawing, even when the view has a non-transparent view color
and the app_server pre-fillied before drawing. During resizing, there is
less synchronization and the app_server won't delay screen updates until
all views in a window have actually finished drawing. Then it depends on
how much the app_server has pre-filled and how much the view managed to
draw when the screen update happens.
