This helps my flashing (or rather, "completely disappearing text"), but
not the scroll position.

This keeps the scroll position at the top of the window, for some
reason.  The cursor is at the end of the buffer, but the window won't
scroll.

It wasn't immediately apparent how I can manually control the scroll
position.  Is there a way?  The old behavior (prior to the addition of
Freeze/Thaw) was that the scroll position would end up beyond the end of
the text.

In some cases I'm appending a lot of text; it is catching stdout from
other processes, and some of those processes buffer their output (grr!),
so when they end, WHAM I get several Kb of text.

thx,
