Are the buttons at the bottom really to small? Or are the just partly covered by the bezel? I guess they are to small. Maybe you can show me a screenshot? (There is no need for hurry!)
Great! I'm trying with some numbers but the providers work very well. About the buttons, i will do a screenshot may be tomorrow.

What I am currently doing when I need to make a screenshot (whether of a KSM or nickle screen) is to do it by telnet.
Code:
[root@(none) ~]# /mnt/onboard/.kobo/kbmenu/scripts_intern/div/screenshot.sh
You can find some information on enabling telnet in the spoiler under the heading "start and stop USBNet from the USB menu" of this post.
I said the first option because don't know about the second. So, do the telnet option implies be connected to a PC?

I started nickel again without involving fmon and dismissed the respective tiles. After that, "start nickel" worked again as expected.

Afterwards, I tried to repeat the whole thing, but nickel did not care whether those pngs are on the home or not.

I can now better understand why recently some people had difficulties starting nickel from KSM. I will therefore provide the option to start nickel without involving fmon.
It's a good solution to run nickel and reprocess pngs. I think that this script must go in the next release into tools/scripts menu.

Also, as a side effect of your start_nickel_no_reboot.sh, the old laucher.png for coolreader and koreader.png for koreader work again!
