This may be the case. I didn't use fxtv, but I use GNOME, without gmc or
nautilus, so no redrawing of icons happens. But I use chbg for my
backgrounds, and I see some strange flickering in gtt's active entry
highlighting if I work with galeon (a lot of open pages) and chbg
updates the backgound at the same time. Maybe there's something in gtk
or gnome which causes a screen redraw (I hope not).
Bye,
Alexander.
