Yes, it should work without big problems, in theory :-D

That's a bug in FlatMenu: on line 266, try to replace the following line:

if type(titleOrMenu) == type(""):

With this line:

if isinstance(titleOrMenu, basestring):

And it should work... I didn't test it, as I don't have the unicode
version here, but please let me know if you encounter any problem.

Thank you for the report!

Andrea.
