Because of this limitation to the menus in WP 3+ we have included instructions for reverting to the custom theme menus in our FAQs on ThemeForsest. The details have been copied below:
I would rather use your custom menu manager instead of the WordPress 3 menus. How can I enable the menu manager from v1.0 on my updated v2.0 theme?
To get the old menus back you can change the following line:
if ( version_compare( get_bloginfo('version'), '3.0', '>=' ) ) {
In “header.php” on line 360 it should be changed to:
if ( 0 == 1) {
In “functions.php” on line 96 it should be changed to:
if ( 1 == 1) {

I believe that some users were able to add the same icons directly into the WP 3+ menus using <span>
tags into the title element, but we have not experimented with this. The users who were successful posted their comments to the ThemeForest comments area (before Help Center was created) and you may be able to find the details of what they did there.
