interaction causes bright flickers on Mint 17.1 Cinnamon screen sleep?

[deutrino]

It appears that either xflux or the applet - I'm not sure, given #52 - is causing an interaction, possibly with Cinnamon, during the "fade to black" animation as the screen goes to sleep in Linux Mint 17.1 "Rebecca." This causes flickers and bright flashes which appear to be un-color-corrected.

I'm also seeing it (considerably less) after replace 'fluxgui' with 'redshift'. It may be a cinnamon issue, I've been planning to disable redshift and see if I can catch some flickers, at which point I'll file a bug with cinnamon and this one can probably be closed.

I'm having this issue on Linux Mint 17.3 with the version from the PPA. It seems SLIGHTLY less severe with the latest version from this repository, installed with these instructions: https://gist.github.com/robertboloc/9feaa9150926efa4175a
