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).
