I tested it again after the update and it still flickers. Unfortunately I
do not have a camera to record a video with. To be a little more
descriptive, the orange of the progress bar will occasionally flash black.
By the way, I have an intel x3100 graphics chip. Others might not be seeing
the flicker because vsync works with their graphics chip and the frame is
drawn during the screen refresh. The theme shouldn't have to rely on this,
though, and should only redraw what is necessary. The progress bar
background should only be drawn to the frame on the parts that were orange
before and aren't any longer. Glancing through the code, I think that
usplash_put_part can be used to only draw a portion of the image.
