I have koreader and Kobolauncher and both can be lauched via png-files from Nickel. Does the Start Menu icon use another way to activate the png-files than KoboLauncher? (The latest versions seem to change the directory name to vlasoft-whatever-something. Could that have messed things up?)

Do I understand correctly that you are saying that (1) you have installed the Start Menu, (2) you cannot exit nickel by selecting exit_nickel.png, (3) you can launch koreader and Kobolauncher vie pngs from nickel? If this is the case, then something went wrong.
Usually Sergey's package uses the etc/init.d/on-animator.sh script to call .kobo/on_start.sh, and on_start.sh calls all script files in .kobo/fmon. These scripts call fmon and associate distinct pngs with distinct script files or other executables.
If you call nickel via the Start Menu, on-animator.sh is skipped. Therefore, ... and you should not be able to launch koreader and so on via a png file.
The Start Menu feeds fmon in this way: On selecting "start nickel", .kobo/kbmenu/onstart/feedfmon.sh loops through all script files located in .kobo/kbmenu/fmonsh. For each script file it looks whether there is a corresponding png file in kbmenupngs (same file name, different extension). If there is one, it checks if the png file has already been processed by nickel. If this is the case, it calls fmon and associates the concerned png file with its script.
In order to make your own association between png files and scripts, take kbmenupngs/run_test_script.png and .kobo/kbmenu/fmonsh/run_test_script.sh as an example. (run_test_script.sh is actually empty. I insert code whenever I need running ad hoc a script from nickel.)
Maybe with this information you can find, why exit_nickel.png does not work on your device.
Edit: Admittedly, I forgot that there is actually a problem with Aura HD when exiting form nickel via exit_nickel.png. This problem is mentioned in post #1. You can find sort of a solution in the startreader.sh provided in
this post. But I think, this is not the problem you were referring to, but rather that after selecting exit_nickel.png nothing at all happens. Right?
