the flicker is directly related to the reparenting. there is nothing you can do
about it as x is not smart enough to realise a window was reparented but to the
same identical on-screen location.
the only way is to simply not reparent. for e17 i will not be doing this trick -
sticky windows wont exist across multiple virtual roots - it simply wont be
allowed. each virtual root will be considered as an almost separate entity (ie
screen). virtual desktops are done just by moving/mapping/unmapping
