IT'S FIXED!!!

A few days ago I upgraded both the kernel and wine.

I had just played through Homeworld: Cataclysm (~2000) and decided to have another run through the original Homeworld (~1999) since it has been at least a few years since I played it.

I upgraded wine to 3.3 and the kernel to 4.15.7 and was about to start Homeworld...

Then I remembered I hadn't checked SH4 yet, so I started it up, and no flickering!!!

So I quit, and started via the terminal to see the output.
I'm still getting the FOCUS LOST/FOCUS RECEIVED messages in the terminal, but no flickering.

I tried the "Battle off Samar" single mission and all was working correctly.

So as soon as I finish my run though Homeworld I plan on resuming my saved game.

I'm still not sure which part was causing the error... but that's what you get for riding so close to the leading/bleeding edge.
