By any chance, do you have multiple monitors setup via Xorg.conf (not
randr)? Anyway, rename /opt/trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock to something (like
add .NO to it), restart pc and see if it helped.

More info:
The background doesn't flicker at all. 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.
More info:
After a few minutes of I trying to use this (basically unsable :-( ) TDE,
it suddenly popped up a dialog that said that the screen was locked and
requested that I enter my password. When I did that, I was returned to
the session, but the flickering had stopped.
So that suggests the question: what causes the screen to lock and the
popup requesting unlocking to appear? Somehow that seems to be related to
the flickering problem.

PS I have no screensaver set.
