HOWTO avoid flicker in full screen mode (i.e Gwenview)

In KDE, when desktop effects are enabled and an application use full screen, it sometimes flicker.
In my case i noted it using Gwenview, amd a second after it changed picture the whole screen flickered each time.

See here for workaround, and read above that post for explanation.

Drawback: fullscreen apps may work slower.

Another method to do exacly the same:
