Weird. I can't reproduce the flickering problem on either Fedora 24 GTK x86-64 
or Ubuntu 16.04.1 GTK x86-64, even though I tried your recipe. I wonder what's 
different about my platforms? Anyway, if the code is fixing a real problem on 
your platforms and doesn't cause trouble elsewhere, we should install it.

Perhaps mark it as deprecated so that the user knows it might go away?

Maybe, but that would be a different topic, and should be addressed in a 
separate patch. For example, we might also need to change our C-reading programs.
