I have seen this flickering in gnome-terminal, in nxclient and also in |
| 34 |
the window title of chromium. I am using gentoo-sources-3.13.3, |
| 35 |
nvidia-drivers-334.16-r7 and chromium-33.0.1750.70. Both in |
| 36 |
gnome-terminal and in nxclient it looked like some kind of |
| 37 |
"blink-attribute" was used. ;) |
