In order to replicate the problem, you must be using a video driver which is not "vesa." For some reason, the flickering does not happen with vesa. I have tested and seen it to be happening on all KDE-based distributions that use KDE3 and the ati, fglrx, nv, nvidia, and intel drivers. I have not tested other machines, but I assume it happens there too. To make the flickering much more obvious, you can bring up a Dolphin window (try the folder "/usr/bin" and ten resize it to be very small on the horizontal axis. (This way, some of the descriptions and paths for the icons exceed the area for the description at the bottom.) Then, mouse over the icons in the window. As the description bar is constantly redrawn larger to fit the descriptions, you will see all of the icons in the window flickering, not just the one your mouse goes over. Also, instead of looking at the actual icon, look at the text below the icon. It seems to be more obvious when flickering.
