I am running an OpenSUSE 12.1 desktop on one OS X desktop using
startkde. But every 10 minutes or so, it blinks on the other OS X
desktops until I move the mouse. What causes this?
This was only recently tracked down and I don't know what the plans are for fixing it, or even if it can be fixed at the level of X11 / XQuartz.
(Short version: native programs that don't normally display unless something requires action, such as the iCal reminders helper or the Time Machine agent or various software update checkers, still steal focus briefly on startup; this can cause flicker or even switch away from full screen, and keys typed during this will be lost because they can't be re-injected into X11. I suspect this requires some effort outside of XQuartz to fix, and don't know how likely it is that Apple will bother.)
