 	I have had similar experience with my homebrew NTSC doodad like 
this.  I think it would be worthwhile to make an 'interlaced' theme that 
would help this.  Basically, no single horizonal lines in the theme 
images... that would keep it from being on for only 1/30 (or 1/25 for 
PAL-ers) of a second.

 	What I find funny are the people whining about no "flicker 
filter" with such a thing.  With a "flicker filter," the resolution is 
reduced, often to only 240 scanlines.  Having a direct VGA->TV output 
allows you to see just how bad the TV signal is... even when almost 
"perfect" from a PC.
