This fix in configure.in makes things work without complaints for me:

This may be a tricky one. First, Metacity's multiple desktop switching works more like E's virtual desktop switching. E's multiple desktop switch involves moving ("reparenting") the windows to another (virtual) root window.
- in particular, pay attention to the interaction between apps and the WM, like moving, resizing, stacking, placement, focus, remembered settings, etc. - report problems to this list including instructions on how to reproduce
There is a problem that deranges me also in older e16 versions. Here is a problem reproducing instruction:
- open a windows (e.g. xterm) - make it sticky - move around some virtual desktops - see that the windows is always on the same place without flickering - move it around some multible desktops (for example with wheelmouse) - see that the sticky window is flickering
This is very bad if using the pager or the Gnome panel with multible desktops. I tried it with metacity (seems to use also multible desktops) and there's no flickering. So I think this behavior could be changed.
- track down the problems, if you are up to that :)
First I need to know why this problem apears. Is there an "easy" way to solve it? Perhaps you've some more comments to this problem...
Without having looked into things I guess that the flicker is caused by an expose event caused by something that happens during the reparenting process (in GotoDesktop()).
It may be possible to avoid the flicker by rewriting something here.
