I still see this problem in f-spot 0.5.0.3 (Ubuntu 8.10 with Compiz).
In addition to the first photo flickering, there are also problems with toolbar rendering in slideshow mode. Without Compiz everything worked fine.
Comment 2 Duncan Doyle 2009-01-30 14:26:27 UTC 
Confirmed, Ubuntu 8.10 on Dell D820 with Compiz enabled.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2018-07-01 08:50:58 UTC 
f-spot is not under active development anymore, has not seen code changes for five years, and saw its last tarball release in the year 2010.
Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/f-spot/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
