rofi spawns a process per menu, so every volume nudge and every step back
destroyed and recreated the window. That is the flicker, and no tuning fixes
it. The panel is now one GTK window: a GtkStack for views, real GtkScale
sliders wired to wpctl, status on a timer, and a pidfile so super+x toggles
it shut. Escape steps back inside the same window.
Also: picom no longer fades or animates rofi, ::selection is not valid GTK
css, and the network/bluetooth lists no longer print their payload column.

Palette sampled from bspwm/wallpaper/wallpaper.jpg and applied per-role
(not per-hex, so terminal green stays green and nvim's LineNr/Comment
stay recessive) across st, kitty, polybar, rofi, dunst, nvim, qt5ct/qt6ct
and GTK 2/3/4.
Also:
- rofi drun centred, icons enabled
- polybar translucent (true ARGB) and rounded; picom corner-radius, with
the desktop layer and fullscreen windows excluded
- fix qt5ct color_scheme_path pointing at a nonexistent /home/carrie
- export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME so qt6ct is actually consulted
- point GTK at an icon theme that exists on this system
- add .config/rice: one-shot install.sh (--dry-run supported), package
list, vendored st config.h (gitignored upstream) and the particles
wallpaper-layer source, so a clone reproduces the rice
