Well, I went ahead and updated to 3.5 and then tried start menu again. The first time I booted nickel it did the same thing as before [start menu->nickel->Books and without displaying ANY entries it went to an upside down start menu. I rebooted and it seems to work normally. Now I see that there is an exit nickel button listed in the books entries. I previously didn't know this because it went straight to an upside down start menu. But it seems to work fine now.
Once again, Thanks for the help!
