Thanks. Until I figure out how this stuff works manually, it does seem 
that Alacarte is the way to go. Actually it's not so much that I want to 
edit my menus right now, but that I want to find the name of the command 
being executed by various menu items. I figure an editor should supply 
that information.  All GUIs, it seems, delight in hiding things from you 
and unfortunately Xfce is no exception. So far, what I do is drag menu 
items to the panel, and once there you can look under the hood to see 
what's going on.  Then I delete the item on the panel. I don't know why 
we can't just right click on menu items and have the same functionality 
there that we do on the panel. But.
