It shouldn't really make a difference when they end up depending on it
implicitly anyway, though.

Did you have a chance to dig into this, by any chance? Is it triggered by
re-ordering of plugins or something similar? What exactly flickers (ie:
startup or continually - I would assume startup, unless they hooks get
mixed up permanently).

Oh, and what drivers cause this?

I don't mind the walk-around for now, but I'd really like to get to the
bottom of why it's necessary to begin with. Nested and multiple
dependencies shouldn't cause flickering or black screens, so we must be
doing something wrong...

(When we eventually get our bug tracker up and running cleanly, stuff like
this needs to go into it so we can backtrace it, but until then that's just
an apropos)
