For example, "touch ~/Desktop/.#foo". I mean, the icons that haven't changed should never flash at all, even if a change is made that _does_ affect the visible display -- only the things that are actually new or different should change their appearance, and everything else should remain the same and not flash. But at the very least, there should be no flash when there are no visible changes.
