The background needs to be cleared to a known state at some point, unless
the subsequent redraw is guaranteed to fill the whole area. NetSurf's doing
the job itself, which is usually far less intrusive than asking the Wimp to
do it for us.
I don't know the background behind r11644, but I'd imagine that there's a
pretty good reason for the change.

Can you give us an example site that shows this and tell us what hardware
and screen mode you're using? Again, I can't see a problem here: there's no
visible flicker with the new build.
