First let me say thank you very much, i downloaded the new version yesterday. I, unfortunately, had a very strange result and i'm hoping you can understand it because i'm a little balder right now than i was yesterday 
i installed the new version on a test machine, a laptop that is running windows vista home 64 bit, with an intel centrino processor. I clicked on the new setting that you added in skin settings and presto everything worked like a charm the main specs of the system from the debug log are here:
The laptop is a 16x9 screen
when i selected the tv option in the home screen this is what appears in the log:
You will see from the log the skin does: Attempting to quickpath to: tvshows
and everything works, both in the tvshows section and the movies section which i haven't included.
Conversely, when i installed the new skin on my primary machine, a desktop with the following specs:
I had the original problem of the tvshows and movies buttons on the home screen sending me to the titles section. For troubleshooting purposes I made sure to use the same xbmc build , but the same problems happened on the official Camelot Release as well. Each done on a full install of XBMC.
The screen in this case is a 4:3 television set as opposed to the16x9 screen on the laptop
When i click on the tvshows button the following shows up in the log:
In this case you will note the log shows:
Attempting to quickpath to: tvshowtitles
this appears to be the major difference as to why it is not working on the desktop but is working on the laptop. I have toggled the skin settings to enable and disable the root level option on both the laptop and the desktop. On the laptop the toggle works as intended, but on the desktop it continues to produce the exact same results, sending me to the titles list no matter the setting
I realize this was not something you intended on adding to the skin, but if you could shed any light on what i might be doing wrong here it would be greatly appreciated. The only thing i seem to be able to think of myself is it has something to do with the fact that the desktop is running on a 4:3 screen and the laptop on a 16x9, but i don't see how. Any help in this regard would be truly apppreciated.
i will post the the complete debug logs for the laptop and the destop in the following posts for further reference.

You will see from the log the skin does: Attempting to quickpath to: tvshows

In this case you will note the log shows:

this appears to be the major difference as to why it is not working on the desktop but is working on the laptop.
