Describe the Bug
There is constant flickering under linux. WARNING if you are sensitive to flickering like do not watch the video.

Screencast_20240312_192733.webm

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Use protontricks to set up and run the application
  2. Notice the application flickers, I think mostly on updates

Expected Behaviour
Doesn't flicker

Additional Context
I am using Fedora Linux with KDE and Wayland.
I also tried it with gamescope using the command

gamescope -- protontricks-launch ./Reload-II.exe

This could probably be an issue with upsteam but i decided to report here first just in case.

I can confirm this exists.

As the dev, I experience this myself on Hyprland.
When two windows overlap, and one window is updated (e.g. displaying a progress bar), the focus between the two windows is quickly swapped.

I'm not sure of the cause per se, especially as I don't remember this happening in X11 in the past (I'd need to re-confirm), but I do acknowledge this at least happens in some Wayland environments under Wine

Actually, I think this may be caused by the window blur effect on focus/unfocus. I should maybe disable that on Wine by default, since it's expected that your window manager will provide its own custom decoration.

This is slightly improved by 92e7dc5 with disabling client side decorations.
Still a Wine issue however.
