I had two ugly problems. ONe, the mouse pointer flickered; I made a change in the xorg.conf file because this was related to my nvidia card. I turned off Hardware mouse. For me, when the gksu application requests a password, the screen dims, and right at the end of that, the whole screen flashes or flickers. I thought maybe it was something to do with my video card or driver. But maybe not. Hope it can be fixed, it's pretty awful. I have edgy RC1.
