Two random ideas.... could Alacarte be tweaked in some way to work for XFCE?
Using the same xfapplet thing could you have the GNOME main menu on a 
XFCE panel?

These too might sound silly but theres so many advantages that XFCE has 
over the other two (in my mind)... and so many distro's are now 
recognizing it as the 3rd alternative and even providing alternate ISO's 
for it... that it's a wonder it has got so far without a proper menu editor.
