This just doesn't happen for me. Is it just a one pixel line sort of flicker at the bottom? I'm wondering if it has something to do with HDMI, because I output to my TV via VGA (my TV wont accept a separate audio source with HDMI - the audio has to come through HDMI and I just don't have any way to do that).
el_cabong can you try with the latest git? I made a few minor changes to the way the background is drawn which might fix it, but its really hard to tell when I can't reproduce the issue myself. I'm really not sure what it would be otherwise. The only other thing I can think is changing overscan settings slightly.

However, what I was thinking of doing was extending the info length. So all on the one line it would be:
## TvShows - ## Episodes (## Unwatched) etc.
il let you know if/when i see the flicker. actually, as of 2 or 3 git pulls ago, it seems to have stopped, but il let you know if I notice it with specific content or under certain circumstances. for me, i noticed it mostly on my xios box connected with hdmi (lower powered and hdmi, may be why your not seeing it). the flicker for me is more than a line or pixel, its about the size of the bottom 1/3 of the screen, only happens for a split second when it does show.
my only concern with having the numbers in a horizontal line is that the line will extend almost to the middle of the screen, especially with movies, lets say you have 1000+ movies, the ## will double to #### adding more characters horizontally and it may look uneven when there is no scanning/stuff is hidden in the upper right.

On many other skins you're able to press like exit and a short menu comes up with exit, reboot, suspend etc. After you've added a new profile a "log off Master user" or whatever is added to that menu.
I don't want to use a login screen everytime I start xbmc so an option to switch profiles "within xbmc" would be great
thanks
if you press 's' or have a remote button mapped to the power key (or settings button) the left menu that slides out has an option to logoff the current user (its near the bottom).
you can also add the option to switch profiles in a custom menu item, check this out: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=129170
