Thank you for the detailed report. I much appreciate it.

This seems to be the same problem as reported for the menu itself (cf. the posts
602,
644,
646). My guess is that this is happening when the screen is being cleared of the content of the previously running application when the next application is started. (One could test whether this is the case by inserting a pause between exiting the one application and starting the next.) If this is the case, we could clear the screen between application calls by showing a white picture like ghostbuster.raw.gz. But I am not sure whether this is not even more disturbing than the current problem.

Of course, if it is kept as an option, it should be turned off before loading the menu.

Thank you for the suggestion. I was also thinking of this. The problem I see is, that if somebody instead of powering on by shifting the power slider, powers the device on by plugging in the usb cable (as I often do if I am planning to connect to the pc anyway), the connection to the pc would be interrupted without safely ejecting the device. I guess this might lead to problems on some pcs (I am not sure about this). Maybe it is better to optionally enable USBnet while the password check is running. But then, not everybody feels comfortable with USBnet. What do you think?
