I am not sure I follow. Icons can be turned off in Settings > Desktop

least I'm talking about these), you are always free to manually enter
'name', 'description', 'command' and associated 'icon'. If you mean
the Xfce Menu, it's a limitation of the current 4.6 series and as far
as I know it will be editable again in 4.8.
