[Bug 44579] Re: gnome-screensaver flickers every 30 seconds

[Ryan Lortie]

I'm quite positive that it's a gnome-screensaver bug.  You can see
flickering with other hacks too -- the only different is that with swirl
the display is very static and doesn't get updated frequently.

The attached patch actually fixes the problem (which, btw does not occur
when I do what you describe above).
