Hi, I tried this, it doesnt solve my particular problem at all, in fact it doesn't make the slightest difference. My window has a *lot* of widgets (it's a whole application made in The GUI Loft with several panes), so the flicker is probably very noticeable for me. Also, if you have a flatscreen monitor (LCD) the flicker is much less noticeable.
