this isn't really recommended, as you can mess up the file pretty easily.
if you really want to edit the panel config, you need to first kill the
panel, edit the file, then restart the panel (the config is read at startup
and saved at shutdown).

the xfdesktop menu can be edited on the fly, just run 'xfdesktop -reload'
afterwards.
