I added your changes + a few other to the repo. Thanks. I also restructured 
qi-bootmenu and added my own little GUI which looks something like:

  +------+  
  | LOGO |   /dev/mmcblk0p1 
  |      |   
  +------+
  +------+  
  | LOGO |   /dev/mmcblk0p1 
  |      |   
  +------+
  +------+  
  | LOGO |   Power Off 
  |      |   
  +------+

For some reason only the logo and the actual text but not the surrounding
space are sensitive for clicks. It would be great iff someone who is familiar 
with the EFL could take a look at the draw_item function in:

 http://repo.or.cz/w/qi-bootmenu.git/blob/HEAD:/gui.c

Dave, you should be able to add your gui by patching this file.

Thanks,
Marc
