Thanks. It seems that it launches `xfce-appfinder --colapsed` and not
xfrun.

This brings about another thing and the reason why I started looking in
the first place. When I start `xfce-appfinder --colapsed` in a DISPLAY,
e.g. DISPLAY=:0.0, it will always start there. This is very annoying when
you right click on the menu and you are on DISPLAY=:0.1 or DISPLAY=:0.2

So I looked further and saw that if I did not start it collapsed, I would
see the preferences and there I had to disable the running of an instance
in the background.

Did some more searching and it is called `alacarte`. This brought me to
/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu

So even though you have not realy answerd my questions, yo have seen that
I was able to find solutions and that is the most importand part, I think.

Thank you very much for that.
