[Thunar-dev] A simple "panel" mode would be useful

I don't really like the idea of crippiling Thunar for this purpose.
Instead, with some libfrap magic, it is fairly easy to come up with a
special appbrowser, that can be used to address your problem.

I hacked up a simple prototype last night:

http://foo-projects.org/~benny/tmp/xfce4-appbrowser-0.1.0prototype.tar.bz2
http://foo-projects.org/~benny/tmp/xfce4-appbrowser-systemtools.png

Extract the attached example, and run the appbrowser like this:

 xfce4-appbrowser -m /path/to/systemtools.menu

The menu stuff in libfrap is not yet complete, but it works already
fairly well (with a bunch of patches, as included in the prototype tarball).
