[..] I believe I forgot to mention that the "slowness" and "flickering" does not occur in the rightmost pane. In other words, if I split the screen down the middle, start a shell, and issue a pstree command in the right pane, the screen is displayed tolerably fast as compared with the same pstree command run in the left pane where the scrolling is atrociously slow. You may already be aware of this, and you may also have some idea why this is happening but there seems to be a pattern: even if you split the screen further down the middle and have for instance four "vertical" panes, the one further to the right will scroll a lot faster than the other three. In any event, this means that a workable strategy for the time being, is to make sure that any screen window that you will use to run something that has demonstrated problems with scrolling is always in the rightmost pane. I've tried it with gdb in the left pane and any other stuff that I needed to take a look at always in the right pane and this worked quite well. Also leads me to wonder is this is xterm-specific or if the same problem also occurs when running on top of other emulators. As I said earlier, I won't be able to do much in the way of intelligent testing, and even less figure out what is happening and try to provide a fix, but I'll keep an eye open and document what I see, in the event it might be useful.
