Speaking of disabling double buffering as a workaround: I went back to 
my old bug reports related to flickering, which double-buffering aimed 
to fix.

I recompiled the GTK3 build without xdbe -- and still couldn't reproduce 
neither bug#12363 (which was admittedly filed on a Windows system), nor 
bug#16621. Even with the same font (Fira Code).

Not sure what changed -- maybe better screen resolution, or a faster 
machine. And the DE, libraries' versions, etc.

But there is a persistent glitch: when the window configuration changes, 
1 or 2 vertical bars often flash:

https://a.uguu.se/iYTlOftH.mp4 (with emacs -Q)

https://a.uguu.se/YdDWpMid.mp4 (with my config but with tool-bar and 
scroll-bar modes enabled)

scroll-bar-mode on seems to be required to reproduce this.
