As soon as I go to the library and the koreader.png is displayed, the KoReader Filemanager fires up.

Renaming ./kobo/koreader to ./kobo/koreader2, restarting, opening koreader.png, go back to home, restart, rename ./kobo/koreader2 back did not help.

I completely removed ./kobo/koreader such that koreader.png is display when tapped, rebooted and put ./kobo/koreader back - did not help.

Also, when going back to kobo home screen from FileManager, traces of the FileManager menu are left on screen, hiding the kobo top status bar.
You could use tshering's "Kobo Start Menu", which does not use "fmon", and you will not need the launching .png files. KOreader support is included in the Start Menu. VlasovsoftLauncher/KoboLauncher is also supported, including CoolReader.

Luck;
