What is flickering are the panel and the default icons on the desktop, many times a second. If I succeed in bringing up the TDE menu (which, if I click enough times, eventually does appear when I succeed in timing a click at a moment when the desktop is accepting input), then the flickering stops for as long as the menu is visible. Really hoping for some helpful suggestions. I really, really, really, don't want to give up and use KDE5. Doc -- Web: http://enginehousebooks.com/drevans
