Those patches should be sent to qt (qt-bugs at trolltech.com) which is likely to 
ask you for a small test case as well :-) Would be great to apply them to 
qt-copy in the meanwhile and if you have a CVS account (at least 02).

I can't reproduce it (maybe it was fixed in a recent Qt?). Anyway, you may 
want to use QWidget::isUpdatesEnabled() instead of creating a new variable 
(m_bGraphicsUpdatesDisabled).

And thanks a lot for your great job, I already enjoy using my new flicker-free 
konqueror :-)
