I noticed the same flicker with the GKrellms window border, when I run an app which uses graphics hardware acceleration. Rolling over to another virtual desktop and back stops this gkrellm window border flicker. I'm using Plasma on Wayland, so I wasn't sure what the cause of this is: code rot in GKrellms, buggy Wayland, or my ancient graphics hardware. :-/ > Moreover, the two latest versions of Firefox do not show as they should. > There's no upper frame, the min/max/stop buttons appearing in the tab bar > instead - in the wrong decoration style: I have the Plastik scheme set, but > the buttons are shown in something similar to the Breeze scheme.
