"Expand on Bullet" not working

so somehow the above code is the one that creates the inline code (with hardcoded sizes, i uncommented the lines)
(info: there is already a patch applied, the if statment checking hasClass('dhtml-menu'); , without that it kills a lot of stuff in views and others)

 // When using LTR, all icons can be shifted as one, as the text width is not relevant.
    if (settings.nav == 'bullet' && !rtl) {
      // Shift overlay to the left by the width of the icon and the distance between icon and text.
        if ($('.menu li').hasClass('dhtml-menu')) {
//        var shift = '-' + (Math.ceil(($('.menu li').css('margin-left').replace('px', ''))) + 16) + 'px';
//        // Shift the overlay using a negative left-hand offset, and the text using a negative right-hand margin.
//        $('.dhtml-menu-icon').css('left', shift).css('margin-right', shift);
      }

    }
  }
}

after nothing happening,i wrote http://drupal.org/project/dynatree
using an external script having the same name as the module, pretty solid.
