editing menus.

[Ray Andrews]

Gentlemen,

I'd trying to figure out how to edit my menus. I found lots of info on 
the web, but all of it seems inapplicable. Eg.on 'wiki.xfce.org/faq' in 
the "How to edit the auto generated menu ..." section there is reference 
to 'menu.xml' which doesn't exist anywhere on my system. Elsewhere I 
read about 'xfce4-menueditor' which also does not exist here.
There's talk about an 'Edit menu' button in 'menu > settings > desktop'. 
Can't find any such thing.

I managed to find 'xfce-applications.menu'  which has stuff like:

<Menu>
<Name>Development</Name>
<Directory>xfce-development.directory</Directory>
<Include>
<Category>Development</Category>
</Include>
</Menu>

And I recognize the main categories, but where is 
'xfce-development.directory' ??
I'll edit by hand if I can figure out how the submenus work.

What's wrong? Am I perhaps missing some addon?  Am  I looking at 
obsolete documentation? If so, is there something up to date?

BTW, I find it bothersome that some things connected with Xfce are named 
thus:

'xfce-development.directory'

and others thus:

'xfce4-about.desktop'

... sometimes the '4' is part of the name, othertimes not. Is there a 
pattern to this? If there is not, I sure wish the devs would settle on 
one form or the other. If there is a pattern I'd be grateful if someone 
would explain it to me.

Thanks,
