Maybe the new menu was different but in english. That's because I
forgot one important step involving locales, my mistake.

The idea is that the script automatically translates the menu to the
current locale language. By default musix starts in spanish, english,
portuguese or french (these are the ones available in the boot menu).
So we need Musix to start in polish to have your menu translated in
that language.

The steps to achieve this are not difficult but involve a bit of more
of command line editing.

Do you have your system in english or in polish? If you have in
english (in icewm you can verify this easier *) I'll give you
instructions to make polish language available at boot time.

* another way to verify your locale configuration is by typing in a terminal:

locale

if you see pl_PL.UTF-8 UTF-8 your system is in polish, otherwise we
need to change it.

I'm not really experienced about working with persistent mode. But
I'll ask for advice to other members of the dev-team.
