So I really see nothing in the log that is actually the cause of a flicker besides using gtk and adwaita (which is today a part of gtk).

gtk has had flickering problem potential up until this year (still marking duplicates) for a long time now https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=517671 so you can see if that solution is of application to the issue here.

Clarification - On one hand, the application depends on the OS and other bits to display correctly which is how I lean on this. But, I can see how making sure the dependencies are there or possible coding errors would suggest its at fault with Steam. However, I'm quite conflicted on the latter point with making it at least 50% of the greater chance. To me its < 50% here.
