I think it would be really nice to have a temporary (until botsie
finishes his menu parser) menu generator that uses the existing
xfdeskmenurc format, without gnome, kde and themes menus, just
launchers, submenus and separators, and exit I think, although you could
also just add that at the bottom of the menu always.

I you are interested and don't mind getting your code ripped out at a
later time, I would gladly put it in xfdesktop.
