do I understand correctly that "flashes" in the sense of an XServer crash?
I don't think XServer is crashing as the .xsession-errors shows errors but not a restart and Xorg.0.log shows no errors or restart.
My guess is that TDE is encountering serious errors that disrupt TDE operation but that do not cause X to crash.
Are there any information listed in the XOrg log?
Lots of X startup info but no errors in Xorg.0.log. However .xsession-errors mostly consists of high-speed repeats of this approx ten times per second. Sometimes there are a lot more stale lockfile messages and sometimes a different resource id appears but it's mostly like this.
There is none of the above when the second display is disabled and TDE is working fine.
If you try "xrandr -q" from Konsole, will it print both monitors?
Note that there is no sign of the second display even though TDE is throwing up a blue background and occasional screen unlock dialogs on the second display. The second display should be in screen :1 and not used by TDE in :0.
The "screen is locked" dialogs appear randomly on one screen or the other every half minute or so - much earlier than they should appear. The flashing stops while the screen unlock dialog is present so I can type my password and return to the flashing.
Does your two monitor setup as a separated X screens ? If so your are probably running into this http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2775
