Would flickering even be necessary? Why not just overlay several transparent GIFs/PNGs? It’s still hackable (so is the flickering solution), but you could also add in a few more tricks to make it more work for the hackers. For example, combine the layers dynamically into a single image with a separate HTTP request to retrieve the (random) positions of each layer within that image. (Just a thought...you could make it as simple or as complex as you want.)
