How to install:
You can use the executable as standalone replacement or all the package as an update of current GMenu2X. But is *STRONGLY* recommended that you have a backup of your files and current GMenu2X setup. Also, have enough knowledge to recover the backup if something goes wrong or if you simply prefer the older GMenu2X.
Instructions
1) Make a copy of your current GMenu2X folder (e.g., copy to "gmenu2x-old")
2) Extract this zip over current GMenu2X folder, making sure to replace all files with the newer ones.
