I'm running GNOME 3.2 on Arch Linux system (updated on 5/01/2012).

Following the tutorials, I wrote this demo application: https://gist.github.com/1565837
What happen is when I run the demo, before the black 800x600 window appears, there is an annoying flickering of the whole screen. I don't know if it's a problem of Mutter (GNOME's WM) or it depends on SFML's X11 initialization procedure. Other apps which use OpenGL, be it simple games or whatever you want do not do this, although WINE when starts up makes the screen glitch too.
