Public bug reported: In Xorg sessions, desktop icons flicker when entering the overview.
I think this is a combination of a new feature in DING: https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons- ng/-/commit/6ab838e832b3771 and an old problem where desktop icon fading is only implemented for Xorg sessions, as shown in: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1395 (see also https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1070) If DING intends to make the icons vanish immediately then also fading them in Xorg sessions may be causing them to disappear and then reappear to fade out.
