Indeed it did. First my mistake was that I copied the png-files to /mnt/onboard instead of copying the whole directory. Second after a few days Start Menu disappeared all on its own and I started in Nickel again.

Today I moved the png-files to their proper directory and reinstalled Start Menu by copying the tgz-file to /mnt/onboard/.kobo and it works..for now. First time starting of Nickel takes the usual long time with the dancing squares, but after that switching is fast!

Since it disables all the problem koreader is having with the newer firmwares ---the button and sleepcover events are no longer available to any program but Nickel--- I think this approach will be suggested as the standard approach for installing koreader.

I will test it for a week to see whether Start Menu dissappears again on an Aura 3.3.0, but on the whole it seems great.
