Thanks for the link, Shanmuhanathan T!

The YouTube video for the link provided by Shanmuhanathan T seems to
demonstrate the problem at hand. A direct link to the video is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSPS7y6MCXc. Because of the nature of the
problem, you need to very carefully observe the lower portion of the
screen shown in the video - the area around the blue comment header line
- while the clip is playing to see the flicker.

I am now trying out the workaround mentioned in Shanmuhanathan T's link,
i.e., adding i915.powersave=0 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub
and then sudo update-grub. Of course, I will need a few days to observe
the effect and even then I will only be able to check whether the
flickers still occur in that time period. It will not be possible to say
that the flickers are gone for good because they don't occur with any
regularity anyway. I will report back with my findings.

Saurav
