Actually, talking about the flickery start button, i've noticed that the way to make it flicker is to press the left mouse button at the very bottom of the start button, i.e within 1 or 2 pixels from the very bottom of the screen.

With all due respect i'm really not impressed with most of the stardock products so far. I think they're covering a really nice area of development and on initial installation and use the programs look very nice.
