Public bug reported:

In Xorg sessions, desktop icons flicker when entering the overview.

I think this is a combination of a new feature in DING:

  https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-
ng/-/commit/6ab838e832b3771

and an old problem where desktop icon fading is only implemented for
Xorg sessions, as shown in:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1395
  (see also https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1070)

If DING intends to make the icons vanish immediately then also fading
them in Xorg sessions may be causing them to disappear and then reappear
to fade out.
