Small observation now... Flickering also  happens when I move the cursor to
the desktop corner (corner glow - not getting the correct term for it but
the corner glow means there is some action assigned to that window cornor)

Hi,

I used to have the same problem on my notebook, especiall with external
screens attached. It went away after upgrading xserver-xorg-video-intel
to the version in experimental (2:2.99.917+git20151019-1~exp1)

Best Regards,
Bernhard
