XFDesktop configurable menu

[Mark C. Chu-Carroll]

Since this change went in, I haven't been able to get menus to
work at all. I've done a bit of probing with log messages, and
the menu.xml file gets parsed without error; but when I try to bring
up the menu, I get an empty menu.

Since no one else has had trouble with this, I'm guessing that it's
something wrong in my environment, but I haven't a clue of where
to start looking. Can anyone loan me a clue?
