Please ignore this post.

I am wrong. The tweak won't solve the problem. The flickering problem is happening all again. So sad.

---------------------------------------------------------------
I notice an option in System Settings (Hardware->Display and Monitor->Display Configuration->Legacy Applications(X11)), which I believe controls how xwayland applications are scaled.

I would stick to choosing "Apply scaling themselves" so that xwayland windows can look smoother on my hi-dpi screen, but I experienced some display glitches with certain xwayland applications: Virtualbox and WPS Office keep flickering. I thought this may have something to do with non-integer scaling, so I tried switching to "Scaled by the system", and Virtual Box is now functional (WPS untested), however, at the cost of blurring xwayland applications under hi-dpi.

So, I would like to ask, is there a way to specify scaling mode for different xwayland applications, so I can use system-scaling for Virtual Box only?
(Of course, it would be better if the flickering issue can be addressed in a more elegant way, but I fear that is an upstream problem beyond my reach.)
