More info:
The background doesn't flicker at all. What is flickering are the panel and
the default icons on the desktop, many times a second.
If I succeed in bringing up the TDE menu (which, if I click enough times,
eventually does appear when I succeed in timing a click at a moment when the
desktop is accepting input), then the flickering stops for as long as the menu
is visible.
Really hoping for some helpful suggestions. I really, really, really, don't
want to give up and use KDE5.
