And therein lies the problem. If this happened after an update you'd easily be able to
back-out the changes and determine which one made the difference. Since the flashing is
happening in a "system" panel it is may be a change to a xfce component rather
than anything related to T-Bird, IMO.
One thing you can do, if you have time on your hands.:-)
Install F22 from a Live image to a VM. Make the changes to your system to get the look you want. Take a
"snapshot" of the working system. Then do a "distro-sync" and confirm you get a blinking
notice. If you do, restore the "snapshot" and then start selectively updating packages.
I installed Fedora-22 XFCE Live on another hard drive, /dev/sdc.
Then dnf installed Firefox and Thunderbird to that system.
Clicking on a URL in Thunderbird caused Firefox to pop up, "stealing the
window."
I then used xfce Settings > Window Manager Tweaks > Focus and checked
"Do nothng." That stopped Firefox from "stealing the window," producing
the blinking browser notification instead.
The only changes I made other than that were to get a high contrast
theme, larger fonts, switch the screen saver to blank and killed the
lock function.
The system has not been dnf updated yet, mostly as-is out-of-the-box ...
So now I have effectively created a third computer that does the same
thing as the other two, it is essentially unmodified but still produces
the blinking notice that no one else sees!
What do I need to look at to define the cause? I suspect that it is
beyond my skill set and as I said earlier I am resigned to just putting
up with it if it is unique to my configuration.
