I can also confirm that this "workaround" that Id2ndR posted does work
in Lucid. What I did, until this bug is fixed, is created a bash script
that runs on startup that executes that command. It's a horrible waste
of CPU cycles... but hey, the screen isn't flickering.

The bash script, called stop-flicker.sh, looks like:

#!/bin/bash
while true ; do echo "toto" > /dev/null ; done

I then gave the script execute privileges:

sudo chmod +x stop-flicker.sh

And finally I added a custom startup application, System -> Preferences
-> Startup Applications -> Add

I called this application Stop Flicker and gave it the command
/home/$user/stop-flicker.sh

Where $user is your user name...

This is hacky... but it works. Please fix this bug soon!
