NickelMenu v0.2.0 testing

I'm looking for people to test NM v0.2.0 (it will be released in July), as this version makes many internal changes to the config parser and menu injection code.

If anyone wants to help test it, you can download it here.

The changes include:

Automatic reloading for config files (i.e. you don't need to reboot anymore when changing the NM config files).
Automatic reloading for generators (i.e. you can change your kfmon configuration and it will be shown immediately).
A more efficient config parser (but this won't be noticeable).
Explicit values for nickel_setting (i.e. you can now enable/disable a setting instead in addition to just toggling it).
Custom URLs for nickel_extras:web_browser (i.e. you can have menu items which launch the browser to a specific URL).
Modal option for nickel_extras:web_browser (i.e. you can have an action which opens a web browser window without replacing whatever is currently open).
Custom CSS for nickel_extras:web_browser (i.e. you can inject custom stylesheets into all web pages loaded into the web browser, for example to change colors, remove elements, fix layout issues, or change the font).

While testing, in particular, I'd like you to:

Ensure that your actions still work in the same way as before and appear in the correct order.
There aren't any crashes, even with errors in the config file (I think I've already covered everything, so it's unlikely to crash).
Ensure that any config changes are picked up properly without a reboot.
