I see this problem in Kubuntu 7.04.
Not sure if this workaround is Gnome specific?

The workaround in Kubuntu 7.04 (adding dbe) works but this also hides
your desktop icons. A better solution is needed.
using the workaround above and also adding these to the conky configuration
file seems to at least solved the flickering for me.

own_window_type desktop
