When you're talking about general flicker throughout GTK, there's not
too much you can do as an application author. GTK+ 2.0 won't flicker
at all in this case, but that's not helping you much since you are
using 1.2.

I do wonder why changing the color causes flicker though; you should
only see this flicker if you are somehow causing a size recalculation
on the table.
