after restoring a good backup image i took prior to the latest cssu build, i went ahead and reinstalled cssu again. then something odd happened, i had a corrupted menu bar at the top. by corrupted i mean that i had a small window that contained the system menu button of the top left. everything to the right was frozen - not being updated. as a result, when i launch an app, i couldn't see the x to close an app and the spinning icon that appears to the right of a the window name when the app is launching never stops spinning.

unfortunately, overclocking, speed patch and battery patch have a slightly higher direct utility to me than the cssu. so, i'm holding off on upgrading my cssu build until the the teams/individuals working on those packages have made them compatible with the current cssu.
