[SOLVED] uzbl-browser and dmenu-vertical

I recently installed the uzbl-browser, which is just great.  It uses dmenu for bookmarks, and it has been suggested (I can dredge up posts if necessary) that the "patched" version dmenu-vertical will improve the experience by listing the bookmarks vertically (horizontally you can see the first three or so, and then end up scrolling).  Looking in the AUR there are two packages: dmenu-vertical and dmenu-vertical-xft.  I chose the version with XFT support. 

When I tried to install it, pacman complained that it conflicted with dmenu, which was already installed.  I uninstalled dmenu, which required uninstalling uzbl-browser, installed dmenu-vertical-xft, and then attempted to install uzbl-browser.  When I answered "no" to that installation's suggestion that I replace dmenu-vertical-xft with dmenu, the install aborted.

So I have reverted to uzbl-browser with vanilla dmenu, but I would like to get it working with the vertical patch.  Has anybody done this, and if so how?

Thanks - Hy
