KRDC: remote mouse cursor flickering on vnc connection

I have a gigabit LAN vnc connection to my other PC and am connecting with "high quality (LAN)" option. Everything works fine, except for remote mouse cursor flickering between visible and invisible about two times per second permanently. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether I move the cursor or not.

I also tried vncviewer (tigervnc) and no blinking there. The interesting thing is, if I connect via vncviewer and then using krdc without closing vncviewer, the blinking goes down (but does not disappear completely).
Disabling KWin effects doesn't change anything. Writing this post I also noticed that the mouse cursor flickering is very high on "high quality" preset, and very low on "low quality" preset.

I'm using linux-ck + nvidia-340xx-ck (nvidia 260GTX) at the moment. Any idea what might be happening? Could someone maybe test if it happens for them as well?

edit: using local cursor does not do anything to reduce the flickering either.
